Survey: Atlantans most stressed in nation

Metro Atlantans are the most stressed-out people in the nation, according to the American Psychological Association. The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports the APA found 36% of people who live in and around Atlanta ranked their stress 8, 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale. Nationally, only 30% ranked their stress that high. Most metro Atlantans cite money as the leading cause of stress, with work, the economy, and housing following in that order.
