How does a Historian have almost twice the stress of a software engineer?

  Trying to make book deadlines?

  Probably that old "publish or perish" thing.

  They do not measure stress directly, but base it on a rather narrow rubric of objective factors such as physical demands and travel. http://www.careercast.com/jobs-rated/2011-jobs-rated-methodology http://www.careercast.com/jobs-rated/2011-jobs-rated-methodo...

  Looking at the actual jobs that get pulled up by clicking on "historian," it looks like they are incorrectly identifying engineering jobs that use a product called "Historian" or talk about "historian data" from monitoring devices as actual jobs for historians. I would think even a rudimentary spot check would have caught such a glaring error before they published the article. Credibility fail.
