Employee burnout is on the rise in the United States, with longer work hours and more workplace pressures causing employees to feel fatigued and stressed.
A study from Social Market Way revealed the states with the highest and lowest burnout rates by analyzing the volume of burnout-related searches, including keywords like “work stress” and “burnout symptoms,” and changes from 2023 to 2024. They also surveyed average weekly work hours to calculate a burnout score. Social Market Way used data from Google Trends, Google Keyword Planner and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
