St. Pete Is One Of America’s Best Cities for Work-Life Balance
St. Pete is one of America’s best cities for work-life balance. The report comes from CoworkingCafe. They ranked some of the largest U.S. cities by “their capacity to foster a healthy work/life balance for their working populations based on economic, cultural, and infrastructural factors, as well as their psychological influence.”
The list consists of 100 cities with at least 200,000 residents. They assigned scores based on mental health metrics, such as the amount of green space and recreational amenities, air quality and work hours.
Having a healthy work-life balance is super important. Many employees agree that mental and physical health outweigh jobs and salaries when evaluating their overall wellbeing. With no work-life balance, it’s more likely that workers are going to burnout and quit. Balancing work and life differs from person to person as much as it differs from place to place. Some factors, like remote work schedules or employee engagement are more important factors to some people.
St. Pete came in at #18 on the list of America’s best cities for work-life balance. Other Florida cities on the list are Jacksonville, which is #25. Tampa came in at #53.
