Augusta is one of the most stressful cities to work in. Do y'all agree with that? Are we all really that stressed out? There's a new study out on the most and least stressful cities to work in. The analysis considered eight main factors, including hours worked per week and commute time. Also single-income families were factored in, along with income growth rate. Another factor considered was lack of health insurance  and crime rates.

I guess when we watch the news at night we can see these things exist. And now that data is right in front of us. Thankfully we weren't Top 10 or even Top 20, but we did crack the Top 25. Augusta landed at Number 23 on the Most Stressful Cities To Work In list. Here's the Top 10.

  • Houston TX
  • Arlington TX
  • Dallas TX
  • Memphis TN
  • Las Vegas NV
  • Corpus Christi TX
  • Fayetteville NC
  • Fort Worth TX
  • Moreno Valley CA
  • Modesto CA

We might be stressed out here in Augusta, but it looks like people in Texas are way more stressed than us. I don't know what needs to be done to fix this situation. However, something has to be done. Life is too short to be stressed out all of the time. Employees mental, and overall health has to be factored in at some point.
