Business Insider used the US Department of Labor's Occupational Information Network database that gives jobs a 'stress tolerance⁸' rating on a scale from zero to 100 to compile its rankings.

美国劳工局职业信息网络数据库在0-100的分值范围内对各种工作“所承受的压力值”进行评级，《商业内幕》根据这项评级整理出它们的排名。

The rating takes into account how regularly workers have to accept criticism, and cope with high stress at work in an effective manner.

该评级考量的因素包括员工受到批评以及需要有效处理高压任务的频率。

Business Insider used the information to compile its list of 20 jobs that all have a stress rating of 70 or less, but still come with a healthy wage packet of at least $70,000 per year.

商业内幕》依据这一信息制作了一份排名，这20种职业的压力评级都在70分及以下，而年薪高达至少7万美元。
