Americans More Stressed Over Work and Money |
Work (74 percent) and money (73 percent) are on the rise as stressors (compared with 59 percent for each in 2006), and half of Americans (51 percent) specifically identify housing costs, such as rent or mortgage payments, as significant sources of stress, particularly on the East and West Coasts. Sixty-one percent in the West and 55 percent in the East (compared to 47 percent in the Midwest and 43 percent in the South) reported housing costs as a very or somewhat significant source of stress. |
