The top 5 unhealthiest UK cities to work in

As the old adage goes, your health is your wealth - as is your income - but whilst our jobs are filling our pockets, they’re also causing us to fill out in other ways.

Over a third of UK workers (36.4%) say they have gained weight as a result of their jobs, with almost three quarters (72.8%) stating that their job has a negative effect on their health.

According to a survey on over 1,000 UK employees by CV-Library, 37.9% admitted to eating more unhealthy food at work, with a further 34.8% saying that their job encourages them to snack a lot more.

The demographic most likely to dip into the biscuit tin were those aged 18-24 (40.4%) and 55-64 (42.7%). But it’s hard not to, with almost eight out of 10 (78.4%) saying that their colleagues often bring in unhealthy snacks to the office, rising to 83.8% in Scotland and 80.6% in Newcastle.
