Forbes magazine recently named Chicago the country's most stressful place to live in the United States.Does anyone feel more stressed out living in the city?
According to Forbes.com: "With 7.3% unemployment and a gallon of gas going for just under four bucks, the Windy City has some economic headwinds that result in a perfect storm for stress. Chi-town’s pollution problems (it ranked No. 7 in terms poor air quality) and lack of breathing room (it's No. 2 in terms of population density) couple to create a Midwestern Molotov cocktail of stress."
At a news conference Wednesday morning at Morgan Park High School, 1744 W.
Pryor, Mayor Daley was asked about the Forbes ranking Chicago high in stress.
"I can attest to that,'' Daley said citing his daily questioning from the media.
But he dismissed the ranking as "laughable.''
