A new LinkedIn Learning survey of 1,000 participants, the more you make the more stress in your life. According to the study, 68% of people making between $201,000 and $250,000 a year reported feeling stressed and it was the same stress rate as workers making over $251,000. That’s compared to only 38% of those earning between $50,000 and $75,000. However, you want to stay in that medium income range because once you start making less the stress increases amd the stress rate is 47% of those making $35,000 to $50,000.
