Jobs That Are Most Stress Free And The Brighest

Stress at work is just inevitable. Each work has its own stress level that can be different from one another. From the many jobs provided out there, some jobs are considered as the most stress-free.

According to Careercast, there are 11 factors that influence stress level at work. Those are travel required; growth potential; deadlines; working in the public eye; competition in the field; physical demands; environmental conditions; hazards encountered on a regular basis; own life at risk; lives of others at risk; and meeting or interacting with the public at large.

These aspects are used to measure the Jobs Rated stress rankings, which also results in a list of the least stressful jobs in 2016. What to note from this report is that least stressful does not mean these jobs are less important or easy. However, they have supportive atmospheres, which are more conducive compared the other jobs, including having a job in a lab setting and office, or a job that require one-on-one interaction.

Among the 200 jobs analyzed, 10 jobs that are the most stress free with each Rated Stress Score and annual income are; Information Security Analyst (3.80, $88,890), Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (4.00, $62.540), University Professor Tenured (6.94, $70,790), Hair Stylist (7.47, $23,200), Medical Records Technician (7.55, $35,900), Medical Laboratory Technician (8.98, $49.310), Jeweler (9.10, $36, 870), Audiologist (9.30, $73,060), Dietitian (10.23, $56,950), and Librarian (10.58, $56,170). 

Meanwhile, Forbes releases a list of 10 jobs that will give the brightest future. This finding is derived from a report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics today. There are significant increases of the employment numbers from year to year.
