NEW MEXICO\u00a0(KRQE<\/a>\/NEXSTAR) \u2013 A recently published study from the finance site WalletHub ranks 182 U.S. cities from most to least stressed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The study determined its rankings through five different dimensions \u2013 work, financial, family, and health\/safety stress. A higher number denotes a lower level of stress. <\/p>\n

\u201cSome stress is out of our control, due to issues with family, friends or employers,\u201d Chip Lupo, an analyst with WalletHub, said in a statement. \u201cHowever, where you live can play a big role in how stressed you are. Cities with high crime rates, weak economies, less effective public health and congested transportation systems naturally lead to elevated stress levels for residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to finances alone, 73 percent of Americans<\/a> polled in an April 2025 survey by CNBC\/SurveyMonkey admitted to feeling financially stressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest financial stressors in 2025 is rising grocery prices and incomes that are not keeping pace,\u201d Marist University Professor of Management Joanne Gavin said in a statement. \u201cAccording to the Economic Research Service division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. food prices rose 23.6 percent between 2020 and 2024. This significant increase has made providing the basics very difficult for many families.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stress \u2013 and our varying levels of success in dealing with it \u2013 is increasingly part of the national conversation.<\/p>\n

A year ago, former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy warned<\/a> parents and caregivers of the toll stress can play on them and their families.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stresses parents and caregivers have today are being passed to children in direct and indirect ways, impacting families and communities across America,\u201d Murthy said. \u201cThe work of raising a child is work, no less valuable than the work performed in a paid job and of an extraordinary value when it comes to the impact on the future of society.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW MEXICO\u00a0(KRQE\/NEXSTAR) \u2013 A recently published study from the finance site WalletHub ranks 182 U.S. cities from most…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":61824,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[1907,18601,10891,44404,718,171,2576,2879,6335,44401,210,13819,5510,4550,425,517,773,50,44400,5824,5313,62,645,67,132,5511,68,44403,313,44402,14271],"class_list":{"0":"post-61823","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mental-health","8":"tag-breaking","9":"tag-calendar","10":"tag-central","11":"tag-clarion-ledger","12":"tag-community","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-event","15":"tag-events","16":"tag-exclusive","17":"tag-focused","18":"tag-health","19":"tag-jackson","20":"tag-latest","21":"tag-live","22":"tag-local","23":"tag-mental-health","24":"tag-mississippi","25":"tag-news","26":"tag-nmw","27":"tag-on","28":"tag-severe-weather","29":"tag-sports","30":"tag-story","31":"tag-united-states","32":"tag-unitedstates","33":"tag-updates","34":"tag-us","35":"tag-wapt","36":"tag-weather","37":"tag-wlbt","38":"tag-you"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114845083396722402","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61823\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
