DENVER - Money, work, and the economy are the most commonly cited sources of stress nationwide and more people in Denver seem to feel the pressure more than the rest of the country. That's according to a newly released report by the American Psychological Association.
It surveyed 1,568 adults in the U.S. between late July and early August, including 202 in Denver.
The report found 80 percent of those surveyed in the Denver area said work stressed them out, compared to 69 percent nationally.
Job stability also worried more people around Denver.
More than one-third of Denver residents reported an average stress level in the extreme range - ranking an 8, 9, or 10 on a 10-point scale, compared to 24 percent of Americans surveyed overall.
Fifty-two percent of Denver residents feel they're doing enough to manage their stress, compared to 58 percent nationally.
