As nearly everyone struggles with burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic, Colorado residents are most concerned with the burnout of health care workers, according to a survey from Verilife.

The survey found that Colorado residents searched online for terms related to health care worker burnout more than any other kind of burnout.

Colorado and Rhode Island were the only states with health care worker burnout as their No. 1 search; however, three states had top searches for phrases relating to burnout among nurses.

Of those surveyed, 92% said burnout affects their everyday life.

The most common causes of burnout this year were COVID-19, work, finances, politics, the news and social media in that order, according to the survey. Twenty states had occupation-specific burnout as their top search result.

The most common causes of workplace burnout were pressure to put in extra work, not taking paid time off, working remotely, fear of layoffs and furloughs, stressful bosses and stressful coworkers.

Because of this, 80% of respondents said they have had trouble focusing at work, 56% have avoided going to work and 61% have cried before, during or after work.

Other notable top searches include signs of job burnout, work from home burnout and emotional burnout.
