These Fortune 500 companies know how to treat their workers
Stress has become such a common ailment in the modern workplace that
most just regard it as an inescapable side effect of making a living.
But it is a big problem and can worsen health and may even prompt extreme behavior, as AOL Jobs previously reported. The United Nations-run International Labor Organization has even labeled work-related stress as an occupational disease.
What can you do if you're among the third of American workers who suffers from chronic stress? You can be proactive and try to work it out with your boss. But if that doesn't help, it might be time to look for a new job.
Business Insider recently released a report of the 20 least stressful employers based on a survey of companies that appeared on the 2012 Fortune 500 list. Here are 11 that are hiring.

The second annual list of the best employers in America by PayScale and Business Insider evaluates companies by both pay and happiness.
For the second year, New Jersey biotechnology company Celgene Corporation topped the list as the Best Employer in America. In fact, many of the best companies are in the health-care industry.
The tech industry was booming last year, with typical top companies such as Google and Yahoo taking the second and eighth spots, respectively. This year, however, tech companies took a noticeable tumble - Google dropped to No. 8 this year, Yahoo fell to No. 17, and Microsoft, which ranked No. 14 last year, fell off the map.
In creating this list, companies in the Fortune 500 were ranked using
PayScale's salary and survey database. Final scores were determined by
multiplying six criteria factors: high job satisfaction, low job stress,
high work-schedule flexibility, high job meaning, experienced median
pay, and salary delta (that is, how the median pay compares to other
companies in the same industry). Since we think that pay is one of the
most important factors, we double-weighted pay in our calculations.
