John Johansen, sheep counter

It is not only within IT people work under a lot of stress. Sheep counter John Johansen knows more than most about stress. For two months every year he has no spare time at all.  

Agriculture workers rarely disturbed outside of working hours

Statistics Norway's work environment survey shows agriculture workers are amongst those who are least disturbed by work outside of working hours. A full 70 percent say this hardly or never happens. Compare this to leaders of small businesses: only 23.7 percent of them say they are hardly or never contacted outside of working hours. 14.2 percent of them say this happens on a daily basis.

But as you can read in this story, agriculture workers too experience a lot of periodical stress.
