Economic Report:

Are you under high pressure at work? A new Danish study suggests women in high pressure jobs are more likely to develop heart disease. The study followed more than 12,000 nurses starting in 1993 and found that by 2008 580 had heart disease. The study found that those who said work pressures were “much too high: were 50 percent more likely to develop heart disease.

1. Fortunately I am under really no pressure at all.

I am self employed and my work is very laid back. I am dirt poor but make enough to pay my bills and feed myself. If I am not happy I am at least content, but I'm not under any kind of work pressure.
