40 million Americans suffer from a work-related anxiety disorder
In 2005, the National Institute of Health reported that 40 million Americans suffer from an anxiety disorder. The data collected indicated that much of this anxiety originated in dissatisfaction toward, or downright hatred of, their work. The 2000 annual Attitudes in the American Workplace VI Gallup Poll reported that 80 percent of workers feel significant, negative stress on the job, and 25 percent report having felt like screaming or shouting because of job stress.
