    Canada home to hardest workers by Kathryn May
    The study is the the first to examine how Canada's workplaces stack up against the U.S. and European Union on four key measures of job quality -- work-life conflict; health and well-being, skills development, career and employment security.

    Canada tops the list for working the hardest, with nearly 17 per cent reporting they work at 'high speed' all the time. The worrisome finding, however, is that one-third of working Canadians feel their health is at risk because of their job. American workers are close behind in pace and intensity and fare only slightly better on the health front, with 28 per cent feeling their work is affecting their health.
