BALTIMORE (WBFF) - Feeling stressed? It might be because you're a Marylander.

Zippia, a career-resource website, ranked Maryland the fifth-most stressed-out state in the U.S.

The study on stressed states looked at six factors: long commute times, unemployment, hours worked, population density, home price-to-income ratio, and the percent of uninsured population.

Zippia noted Maryland's average commute of 32.9 minutes - the second-highest commute of any state, with only New York coming in higher, at 33 minutes.

Also, Maryland had an unemployment rate of 3.3 percent and the average number of hours worked was 38.9, according to the study.

(Earlier this year, another study named Maryland the second-most stressed state, according to its tweets.)

Hey, at least we're not as bad as Florida... or New Jersey... or Texas... or California...
