<body><div> Whether it's tight deadlines, long hours&nbsp;or&nbsp;life-or-death situations, every job has its share of stress&nbsp;– though some have more than others. According to Mental Health America’s <a href="https://www.mhanational.org/mind-workplace" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Mind the Workplace 2022 Report </a> , a quarter to a third of people's lives will be spent in the workplace, and four in five employees say workplace stress affects their relationships. The <a href="https://www.onetonline.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Occupational Information Network </a> , or O*NET, part of the U.S. Department or Labor, <a href="https://www.onetonline.org/find/descriptor/result/1.C.4.b" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> recently ranked 873 </a> of the most stressful jobs in the nation. The rankings note&nbsp;the importance of accepting criticism and dealing calmly and effectively with high-stress situations in each role. The jobs don't just include careers that pay high salaries including&nbsp;urologists (ranked No. 1) and judges (ranked No. 4).&nbsp;Some of the jobs pay low median wages like retail supervisors (No. 9). <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The 10 best real estate markets of 2023: <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/real-estate/2022/12/07/hottest-real-estate-markets-2023/10837578002/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Goodbye COVID boomtowns, hello mid-sized markets </a> With recession looming, more Americans tap retirement funds for cash: <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2022/12/09/more-americans-tap-retirement-funds-cash/10860401002/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> But is it a good idea? </a> While some positions on O*NET's ranking require multiple degrees or post-graduate school, the list is comprised of "many low and middle skilled occupations with high levels of stress," notes Sania Khan, chief economist at Eightfold AI. Khan said the U.S. could see a decline in high-stress jobs like entry-level positions at investment banks or law firms, citing "overall worker sentiment changes." "People are less tied to their employers nowadays, as we encountered with the 'great resignation,'&nbsp;so workers may feel less inclined to pursue such paths," Khan said. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Here are the 10 most stressful jobs on O*NET's&nbsp;list, including their duties, median annual salaries, and stress level out of 100. <h2 class="presto-h2"> 1.
