Nearly 30% of U.S. employees say their manager is too stressed to help them at work, according to a recent LinkedIn News survey.
Responses varied by industry. Hospitals and healthcare ranked fourth-highest, with 31% of respondents indicating their managers were too stressed to be of aid.
LinkedIn surveyed 14,680 U.S. professionals, excluding owners and C-suite executives, between June 14 and Sept. 19.
The industries that reported higher rates of manager stress were retail (36%), transportation, logistics, supply chain and storage (36%), and arts and recreation (34%).
Across sectors, managers have become increasingly stretched due to layoffs. Those remaining after restructuring now oversee roughly three times as many employees as they did a decade ago.
The five lowest-ranked industries were technology, information and media (27%), manufacturing (27%), professional services (26%), financial services (23%) and real estate and equipment rental services (12%).
