NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Fewer than half of U.S.
workers are satisfied with their jobs, the lowest level since
record-keeping began 22 years ago, said a report released Tuesday.
Conference Board's survey polled 5,000 households, and found that only
45% were satisfied in their jobs. That's down from 61.1% in 1987, the
first year the survey was conducted.
both economic boom and bust during the past two decades, our job
satisfaction numbers have shown a consistent downward trend," said Lynn
Franco, director of the Consumer Research Center of The Conference
Board, in a prepared statement.
report notes that job satisfaction has steadily declined over the years
despite big improvements in the work environment, such as a reduction
of workplace hazards and an increase in vacation days.
drop in satisfaction over the past 22 years spans various aspects of
employee life, including interest in work (down 18.9 percentage points)
and job security (down 17.5 percentage points).
employee satisfaction dipped across the board; workers in every age
group and income levels showed a drop, but workers younger than 25 were
the most unhappy in their jobs.
