80 percent of U.S. workers have at least one complaint about their job, which is lower than it was last year.
Long commutes and low pay are the two things causing workers the most stress.
For the fourth consecutive year, small paychecks were the top stressor of employees, with 13 percent of adults ranking low wages as the most stressful aspect of their job, according to a new study from Everest College. Low pay shared the top spot with Americans’ long commute to and from work, which jumped to 13 percent from 9 percent in 2011.
