West Midlands residents revealed as the UK’s most stressed

The research, from office solutions provider Instant Offices, which measured factors such as salary levels, gender pay gaps, and online searches for “work stress” and “burnout,” indicates that residents of the West Midlands endure the highest levels of stress nationwide.

Birmingham’s position at the top of the list stems from its relatively high volume of stress-related web searches, a notable gender pay gap, and lower-than-average salaries. Nearby Coventry ranks second in the study, helping to place the West Midlands as the region under the greatest strain. Many inhabitants there report making cutbacks on social activities and exercise due to work-related pressures.

Data shows that in 2024, the average UK employee took 21.1 days off work due to stress, depression, or anxiety – leading to 16.4 million lost working days overall. Among the most commonly cited causes of burnout were high workloads (including unpaid tasks), cost-of-living pressures, job insecurity, and workplace bullying or isolation. One in four UK adults admits to feeling stressed most of the time, while one in nine experiences stress on a daily basis.

Women in the UK feel stressed, on average, 11.7 days per month – noticeably higher than the 8.7 days reported by men. The study also highlights that cities with substantial gender pay gaps, such as Derby, Coventry, and Luton, show increased stress levels among female workers.

With work stress, burnout, and mental health concerns on the rise, experts urge both employers and policymakers to address structural issues such as pay disparity and mounting financial pressures. They also advise individuals to seek healthier work-life balance, maintain social connections, and prioritise self-care as a means of reducing day-to-day stress.
