Work & Health
I laughed out loud when I read this headline from CareerBuilder’s recent newsletter, 46% of Workers Have Gained Weight at Their Current Jobs. I have to admit that I am in with the 46% so naturally I had to read the article. CareerBuilder.com surveyed more than 2,200 workers from June 6 to June 16, 2006. Here are some of their findings:
- 20% say they are more than 10 pounds heavier.
- 10% say they are more than 20 pounds heavier.
- 57% of government workers gained weight.
- 54% off IT workers gained weight.
- 53% of accounting/finance workers gained weight.
- 35% of retail workers gained weight.
- 39% of sales workers gained weight.
Well, maybe I can use this as a little motivation to get out walking, running, biking or roller blading before the snow starts to fly here in the tundra.
