The study itself was published in 1996, meaning it was probably conducted 1 to 2 years (possibly even 2-3 years) prior to being published.... not sure what it says that it takes someone 10-11 years to actually mention the study and even then it probably goes largely unnoticed...

Did someone say stress in relation to working in IT? Sounds like a study in the making... ;) more details coming soon I hope... just as soon as I get enough off of my plate so I can get to it...

Well, that would have to be air traffic control personnel or people who launch space shuttles. Yeah, I think launching space shuttles would be a more high-stress occupation than launching a new web application. “It poses the question… what other industries do you believe experience the same stress levels?”

I know a lot of folks that just work themselves too hard as well when it comes to "IT-related" work too.
