ACCOUNTING: THE WORLD’S MOST HEADACHE-PRONE PROFESSION



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Next time you see your accountant, give him or her a few aspirins: It turns out accounting is the most headache-prone profession in the world. That’s according to a new study by Excedrin which shows almost half of all accountants suffer headaches during the work week – the most of any profession. Librarians come in a close second – 43 percent of them say their job causes headaches. 42 percent of bus and truck drivers get headaches on the job, while 38 percent of construction workers say their work causes headaches. At the opposite end of the scale, only 20 percent of homemakers say they suffer headaches while working.
