Overweight US Workers Blame Weight Gain On Work, Survey Shows

BOSTON (CBS) -- Could your work be making you gain weight? Two-thirds of the population is overweight or obese and the numbers are climbing every year, and many Americans feel their job is to blame.

Career Builder's national survey of 3,000 full-time workers found more than half of U.S. workers feel overweight and nearly half say they gained weight while at their current job.

Many blame sitting at their desks all day and being too tired to exercise after work. A third of workers say stress-related eating is a problem.

Experts say companies need to offer low-cost salad bars, on-site gyms and serve healthy snacks at meetings rather than Danishes, pizza, and cookies.
