While all highlighted the 19% or 1 in 5 figure, Profit also noted additional concerns such as fuel prices, national debt, and drug abuse, as well as the 91% who said doing business is difficult. ProPakistani and Minute Mirror focused more narrowly on the energy price issue, with ProPakistani briefly mentioning the survey's name."
