Could stiff have to do with the starched collar 'the suits' have to wear? The modern business man is often also compared to a zombie; not one of the dead, but the undead [knees tremble]. The template lifestyle led by office workers is the reasoning, I guess.
"Working stiff" also reminds me of the phrase 'to work your fingers to the bone' or until you have a 'stiff neck'.
