Job Satisfaction

This annual survey is a barometer of US worker satisfaction

Job Satisfaction: 2014 Edition


June 18, 2014 | Report

According to the current edition of The Conference Board Job Satisfaction survey, and for the eighth straight year, less than half of US workers are satisfied with their jobs. In 2013, the percentage of workers satisfied with their jobs was 47.7, well below the historical level of 61.1 percent in 1987. Increasing by a mere 0.4 percentage points from the previous year, overall job satisfaction continues to improve from its lowest point (42.6 percent in 2010), albeit at a disappointingly slow pace. In addition to overall results, this report offers demographic results (e.g., age, region) for the survey data.
