IT people get fat

The latest CareerBuilder job search site study found that American IT staff was rapidly getting fatter. Every second IT specialist admitted that he had put on weight in current work. This exceeds the average for all occupations. Every third IT specialist gained more than five kilograms, and every sixth - more than ten kilograms. The last digit looks especially frightening.



Analysts still can not understand why information technology contributes to weight gain and why this trend has intensified in recent times. Perhaps the reason for this is a more sedentary lifestyle due to the improvement of remote control systems (for example, now admins do not have to constantly run to the server), as well as the widespread practice of free lunches in modern dot-commas (there are already legends about regular cooks of Googleplex).



However, not everything is so bad. The study showed that there are two industries where they get fat even faster than in high-tech: this is the banking sector and the state apparatus.
