Do people with cleaning jobs live longer and/or are they happier? It's certainly not the stereotype in my head but I have zero data. Do any jobs with lots of manual labor live longer, healthier, and happier?

Recently it was found that prolonged use of cleaning products is as bad as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.

Ahh, well - you gotta put something on the old tombstone someday right?

I don't believe that. You can clean safely. How do you smoke a pack a day, safely?
It depends if they are happy with their jobs. If they are going to be tired and miserable at the end of the day, the motivation aspect is not there.
No they don't. Burning more calories will actually make you die sooner.
What the hell are you talking about? When was the last time you heard your doctor recommend to burn as little calories as you can, and avoid 30 min of exercise a day at all costs?
