Jobs That Cause Weight Gain

by Emily Co 1

If you find your waistline increasing, you can possibly blame your job. CareerBuilder recently came out with a study in which 44 percent of participants say they have gained weight at their current job. Here are some jobs that had a higher number of employees who say they've gained weight:

• Travel agent
• Attorney/judge
• Social worker
• Teacher
• Artist/designer/architect
• Administrative assistant
• Physician
• Protective services (police, firefighter)
• Marketing/public relations professional
• Information technology professional

Some of the reasons for job-related weight gain include stress-eating, skipping meals because of time constraints, and eating out regularly, according to the study.
