For example, nurses, doctors, police officers, firefighters, military personnel, paramedics, teachers, social workers, and customer service representatives, the list is long. But no matter what the job is, it turns out that women carry a much heavier load of stress weight than men.
According to CNBC and new research from Future Forum shows that burning out is at a higher rate than ever before. The study spoke to over 10,200 full-time desk-based workers across six countries including the United States. Out of all the people who were surveyed, 42%, a new high for those contending to being over-stressed and burnt out. Less than two years ago 38% of those surveyed said they were suffering from the same stressful feelings, an increase of 4%.
That’s not all, the study also found that there are some people who are at a greater risk of burnout. Those people are women and workers under the age of 30.
According to the study, 48% of 18 to 29-year-olds said they feel drained with the same results shown for 40% of those 30 and older. Almost half or 46% of women reported burnout, with only 37% of men saying that they’re feeling burnout. "Women have reported higher levels of burnout than men for years, a gap that has more than doubled since 2019."
“Younger millennials and Gen Z were raised with a lot of pressure to be high achievers but are starting their careers in a chaotic landscape”, Denver-based psychologist Debbie Sorensen explained to CNBC. “We haven’t had time to recover from the trauma of what we’ve been through the last few years,” She also shared that “Women and young people, in particular, are putting an immense amount of pressure on themselves to keep going, keep working, no matter the cost.”
2023 Oscars Red Carpet: Hottest Looks and Train Wrecks
The color of the night for the 95th Oscars was white, with some pops of color with the oncoming Spring season. While some stars looked like they emerged from a dream, others were washed out by their choice. The Oscars are one of the year's most fashionable events, so you know that the nominees put their best foot (and face) forward on the red carpet.
Take a look below at the biggest winners and losers of the red carpet below:
Worst: Elizabeth Banks
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesNot quite sure what Banks was thinking, but all this excess fabric, her gown is swallowing her whole. The train seems too messy.
Worst: Zoe Saldana
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesSaldana's dress is not only boring, but it doesn't fit her right, so the lace details get lost.
Worst: Sabrina Dhowre Elba and Idris Elba
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesUnfortunately for Idris' wife, Sabrina, this neon green makes her a sight that gave us sore eyes when standing next to the dapper actor.
Worst: Ana de Armas
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesNot only is her dress boring due to the details being lost in the muted hue, but it does not go well with her complexion either.
Worst: Dwayne Johnson
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe shiny rose gold blazer is a little too soft for someone who goes by "The Rock."
Worst: Halle Berry
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesBerry's dress would have been perfectly elegant and hot if it hadn't been for those gold roses at her hip and neckline. The retro waves don't look great on her hair length, either; we can't see her beautiful face.
Worst: Jessica Chastain
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesJessica Chastain usually kills it, but tonight, the light silver color just washes her out.
Worst: Kate Hudson
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesUnfortunately for the natural beauty, her lack of makeup only brought out her pale complexion when paired with this cool-toned silver gown, which would have otherwise looked gorgeous.
Worst: Elizabeth Olsen
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesOlsen's black fringe dress seems all kinds of confused, mixing modern with flapper style.
Best: Jamie Lee Curtis
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesThis nude, sparkling gown looks stunning on the star, who is shining as brightly as her gems.
Best: Samuel L. Jackson
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesIt is refreshing to see the actor in color, and for a metallic one at that!
Best: Jennifer Connelly
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesConnelly's neckline is what elevates this simple, black gown to the next level.
Best: Mindy Kaling
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesMindy looked fabulous in this bright white caged gown! Keeping her neck bare allowed for the details in her dress to shine.
Best: Janelle Monáe
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesThe singer and actress absolutely gleamed on the red carpet in this cascading orange skirt! She perfectly mixes the elegance of her bottom with the playful sexiness of her top.
Best: Michelle Yeoh
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesYeoh's fringed gown looks elegant and perfect for the actress, who has been snagging all of the awards lately.
Best: Emily Blunt
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThough her dress is so simple, the actress looked so beautiful, which goes to show less can be more when you know how to dress for your body and complexion.
Best: Zuri Hall
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesNow THIS is how you look like royalty, but with an edge.
Best: Ava DuVernay
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe filmmaker looked so elegant and stunning in this black gown with silver detailing.
Best: Cara Delevingne
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesDelevingne looked perfect in this red gown, which cinches her in at the torso with a nice touch with the shoulder bunching.
Best: Sandra Oh
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesGoing against the white trend, Sandra Oh's mustard dress stood out in the best way. It cascades so beautifully and she looks so youthful, pairing her look with a messy updo and a fun, blinged-out necklace.
Best: Tems
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesThe singer stole the show for the best dressed in white with this fun tulle gown, that just swept us away.
Best: Angela Bassett
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesNot only is this color just ravishing on Angela, but the movement created through the fabric of her gown makes her look even more beautiful.
Best: Florence Pugh
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe actress has been killing it lately with her fashion choices, and this is no exception. Her gown is giving natural yet elegant.
Best: Salma Hayek
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe 'Magic Mike 3' star looked incredible in this fun, bronze sequin fringe gown. Her body looks absolutely snatched.
