Health of finance workers declining from intense stress

People who work in the financial sector suffer from a variety of stress-induced health problems, but companies have done little to address the problems, medical and employment specialists said.

Workers in the sector face long working hours and they often work under intense pressure, according to a report released by the Chinese Medical Doctors' Association and the Chinese Hospital Association.

In February, a bank employee committed suicide by leaping from a building in Hong Kong's Central district.
