WSJ Europe (print edition): Which employee is most likely to wig out in the long run: the police officer or the investment banker? Turns out Wall Streeters experience more types of stress than many other professions, including those where employees might confront a weapon. In a paper, Noushi Rahman and Irem Aktas of New York's Pace University compared results from a few dozen studies of thousands of employees in 21 occupations and found that business and finance types exhibit more "stressors" than just about ony others. Worries include poor job fit, problems with management and work/home trade-offs. Police, on the other hand, expect and often crave thrills, the authors conclude.
