Feeling stressed?

Feeling stressed?

You’ve got company. Lots of it.

It turns out we happen to live in one of the stress capitals of the universe.

A new study indicates the Philadelphia region ranks 12th in the nation when it comes to most stressful metropolitan areas.

The ranking reviewed items such as the unemployment rate, sunshine, families living below the poverty level, murder rate and ozone levels.

That’s all well and good. But I doubt any of them tried driving the Schuylkill. Or wearing a Cowboys jersey to an Eagles game at Lincoln Financial Field.

No doubt we would have ranked much higher were that the case.

As it is Detroit tops the list as the most stressful place to live in the U.S. New York City checks in at No. 6.

Least stressful? That would be Salt Lake City, Utah. Must be all that snow.
