Clarksville – LONGEST Workweek Nationwide

Do you feel like you’re overworked? It may be because you work in Clarksville.

A recent study revealed the most stressful cities in America and the good news is that it’s not Clarksville. Texas has the most stressful cities covered.

But an interesting finding ranks Clarksville at the top of the list. At 41 hours, we have the longest workweek in the nation. Most of us feel like we’re working far more than 41 hours a week. As the study points out, work-life balance is key. The study states, “According to the American Psychological Association (APA), taking frequent breaks throughout the workday, tracking your stressors in a journal, establishing boundaries between work and your personal life as well as developing healthy responses to work stressors are all ways to avoid work-related stress. If you’re feeling overwhelmed at work, listen to your body and take time to recharge. Even small breaks throughout the day can go a long way in helping to reduce work-related stress.”

So let’s take breaks often and give each other some grace. We’re the hardest-working city in the USA!
