Would be more interesting if they separated the jobs by private sector or govt workers.

What are you wanting to see? There are study's on such topics.
Business owner would no doubt be private sector.
I would like to see govt state vs govt federal.

Well that's great. According to the report which seems to fit most I know. I have a "higher rates of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and cancer compared to most other professions." I think it's due to pressure and stress. Many people think that having your own business you are more free. You are freer to an extent, but you also have the pressure/stress of being sucessful as so many depend on you ie employees, customers. Its great when the money rolls in but then you worry about taxes and documentation.

Vodka and I used to be great friends, but I dont drink anymore. I still keep like 5 vodka flavors around.
