I have worked in both New York City and Connecticut and find jobs in this area to be incredibly demanding and stressful. So, I would like to know....where in the nation are jobs generally less stressful? Is there even a correlation between geographic location and job stress level?

Jobs may be as stressful everywhere, but lifestyle is less stressful in the South.

Since America did away with communistic things like paid vacation and and implemented right to work almost every job is stressful. Someone is always on you to make sure that your hard work and efficiency is going to make them more money.

What's wrong with more money? We can take all of that with us when we ascend to heaven. Then we'll really live it up. Otherwise, we can leave it all to our spoiled brats down here on earth who can find ways to increase it.

You have to bury it with you, along with your wives and slaves, in a big pyramid to make sure it comes with you to the afterlife.
good post i dont think so. here is the crazy part, as the wages go up the expectations of management go down.
hardest jobs i ever did were min wage.
but beware of inward tendencies to want to avoid job stress, it will put u underemployed unless u learn to process the stress of working.
First, estimate the labor required to complete the job. Avoid using one flat rate, and instead calculate the time required at the actual rates, based on the skills required for different aspects of the job. Add all the labor and material costs together and calculate a contingency amount, ranging from five to ten percent. This amount covers minor changes, and additional time requirements.

I always found myself under a lot more stress when I commuted long distances in traffic into big busy cities with astronomical parking expenses or option B where mass transit is slow, inconvenient, and crowded. That was when I commuted from the outer ring suburbs into Boston. That just compounded more misery into the job. Now I work in my hometown and though I don't find the job itself any more or less stressful, my life feels a lot less stressful without the hideous commutes. All those wasted hours of my life that I can never have back.
Having lived in the Northeast, the Mid-Atlantic States and Florida I can say from my experience it has much more to do with traffic/congestion as employers tend to vary little in terms of expectations geographically speaking. If one had the ability to arrive at work not bordering on an aneurysm because the commute was so horrific, your work day would probably be much more agreeable. To the OP, check out non-massively congested Southern cities, examples:
Durham/Chapel Hill
Greensboro/Winston Salem
Jacksonville
Knoxville
Charleston
Columbia
