Commuting to work is more stressful than your job

Your job is actually less stressful than getting than getting to your desk in the morning, says new research from Ford.

Commuting in London is even more stressful than a visit to the dentist or moving house, the study says, while the increasing unpredictability of journeys means almost everyone leaves early for work to counter hold-ups en-route.

Londoners are late for work more often than their European counterparts. As many as 80% are late at least once a month, while almost half (47%) are late two or three times per month.
