According to an international research project, Poles are the most stressed out workers in the world, ahead of South Koreans and the Danish.

The project carried out by Extended DISC International was compiled, say the company, by over one million Personal Analysis Reports, which, when collated together, produce a National Stress Index (NSI).

Poland comes top of the NSI, scoring 2.22, well ahead of South Korea’s 1.99 and Denmark’s 1.81.

Males in Poland are the most stressed, with a 2.24 NSI score, with females reporting 2.21.

In the 1970s, states the report, Poles were even more stressed, with a 2.30 NSI.

The NSI measures the amount of negative stress an individual reports suffering from. “The higher the score, the less balanced, peaceful and secure the population feels the environment is,” says the report.

Latin American and Spanish workers generally report lower levels of stress than average, finds the research. (pg)
