These are the least stressful jobs in 2017

Some jobs ask people to put their lives on the line, to deal with a heavy workload or hit fast-paced deadlines, while on the flip side, others may leave you asleep at your desk.

CareerCast.com has released a ranking of positions where the latter is more likely to happen than any of the former.

The career advice website compiled the list of the most stressful jobs based on an evaluation of 200 professions based on various factors, including: amount of travel required, the industry's and job's growth potential, hazards, competitiveness, deadlines, risk to the worker's life and others, as well as the physical demands.

The evaluation relies on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to come up with each position's overall stress score.

The full methodology can be viewed here.

All figures in U.S. dollars.
