NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Dreading your 9 to 5? It could be a lot worse, according to a new study.

Being a skyscraper window cleaner is the least desirable job in Connecticut, according to TRADESAFE. Nutmeggers not only wouldn’t pursue the job — but they wouldn’t take it even if the salary was doubled.

It was also the least desirable job in Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Washington.

What other careers are people in Connecticut avoiding? The data places commercial fisherman in second place, meatpacker in third, roofer in fourth and steel worker in fifth.
