Then work interferes with life
Study reveals new insight about common stressor

As many as 50 per cent of people bring their work home with them regularly, according to new research out of the University of Toronto that describes the stress associated with work-life balance and the factors that predict it.
Researchers measured the extent to which work interfering with personal time using data from a national survey of 1,800 American workers.  Sociology professor Scott Schieman (U of T) and his co authors Melissa Milkie (University of Maryland) and PhD student Paul Glavin (U of T) asked participants questions like:
“How often does your job interfere with your social or leisure activities?”; and
“How often  do you think about things going on at work when you are not working?”.
Schieman says,
“Nearly half of the population reports that these situations occur “sometimes” or “frequently,” which is particularly concerning given that the negative health impacts of an imbalance between work life and private life are well-documented.”
