Although Victoria continues to get awards and recognition from tourists for its attractions<\/a>, a new list has come out showing locals have the highest work-related stress in Canada.<\/p>\n

Compare the Market<\/a> analyzed search results from major cities in Canada, and Victoria came out in first place as the most anxious.<\/p>\n

The analysis found that there are roughly 1,043 per 100,000 people in Victoria searching for terms like \u201chow to deal with anxiety.\u201d <\/p>\n

However, where Victoria truly topped the charts was in work-related stress, which measured searches for terms like \u201cwork stress\u201d and \u201cwork burnout.\u201d On this metric, Victoria scored 91.37 out of 100.<\/p>\n

Cities were scored based on the volume of searches compared to population, which was highest in Victoria.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur study highlights the widespread nature of anxiety, showing that both large and smaller cities are deeply affected by work-related stress and the pressures of urban life,\u201d said Steven Spicer, executive general manager of health, life and energy at Compare the Market. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese findings serve as a reminder that mental health is a critical issue, and cities across the globe must invest in more robust mental health resources to support their residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

London, Ontario came in second place, with a score of 86.62, but had a higher number of general anxiety searches at 1,481 out of 100,000 people.<\/p>\n

Victoria is the only B.C. city to have made Compare the Market\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

In the list comparing U.S. and Canadian cities, Victoria came in second place, behind Atlanta, Georgia, which scored 100 out of 100.<\/p>\n
