Where the Germs Are
A recent survey shows which office-based jobs host the most bacteria. Here is the list, going from careers with the most to least germs on workspace surfaces:
Teacher
Accountant
Banker
Radio host (because we are all pigs)
Doctor
Television producer
Consultant
Publicist
Lawyer
The study (conducted by a University of Arizona microbiologist) showed that the average bacteria per square inch of workspace surfaces ranged from 17,800 for teachers to 900 for lawyers. Phones are the workplace's top spots for bacteria. Next are desks, computer keyboards, and computer mice.
