According to recent CBS and TNO studies, cooks, doctors, lawyers, managers in business and administrative services, and primary school teachers all work under high work pressure. However, the nature of this work pressure differs across the various professions. This is evident from a recent CBS survey among employees in common occupational groups regarding the work pressure they experience themselves.

For instance, cooks most frequently indicate that they have to work very fast. Doctors, lawyers, managers in business and administrative services, and primary school teachers feel that they have to perform a great deal of work. To determine workload, employees were asked whether they had to perform a great deal of work and whether they had to work very fast or extra hard. Employees in occupations with the highest workload score higher than average on these three components. For this analysis, only common occupational groups with at least 50,000 employees were examined. Among, for example, production managers and lecturers in higher education, the workload is also high, but those occupational groups number fewer than 50,000 employees.
The lowest work pressure is experienced by security personnel, followed by car and taxi drivers, landscapers, gardeners, cashiers, and childcare workers. The fact that they are at the bottom of the list is mainly because they less frequently report having to work extra hard.
