The industries ranked as the most stressful include medical and health services, financial services and accountancy, IT and telecoms, hospitality and leisure, education, media, marketing, advertising, PR, and sales, manufacturing, retail, transportation and distribution, and construction. Additionally, the survey highlights that workers between the ages of 25 and 34 have experienced a higher rate of stress-related absences compared to those aged 45 to 54.
