A: Work

STUDY FINDS WORK INTERFERES WITH HEALTH AND EDUCATION: A new study from researchers at Michigan State University finds that work interferes with many aspects of life. Researchers distributed a survey that was 48-items long, and asked participants to rate how much work kept them from doing each item. Over three-thousand people took the survey, and researchers found that work interference with education was the best predictor of low job satisfaction and intention to leave a job. They also found that women experienced more work interference with life, reporting that work got in the way of health, leisure, household management, frienships, and romantic relationships more severely than men reported.
