'Broadcaster' Again Makes Most-Stressed List

According to a new study by CareerCast.com, “Broadcaster” is the eighth most stressful job you can have. They looked at 11 different kinds of job demands that evoke stress, both physical and mental.

Stress, as defined by the Jobs Rated methodology, is determined by 11 factors: travel, deadlines, working in the public eye, competitiveness, physical demands, environmental conditions, hazards encountered, the life of oneself or others at risk, meeting and interacting with customers and/or the public, and the potential for job growth.

Thus, jobs can be remarkably stressful, albeit for remarkably different reasons. The stress inherent with working as a police officer or firefighter, for example, is readily apparent.
