The State of US Job Satisfaction

The Conference Board Job Satisfaction Survey serves as an annual gauge of the satisfaction levels of US workers, focusing on perceptions of their current roles and workplace environments. Conducted since 1987, it holds the distinction of being the longest-running job satisfaction survey in the United States.

Following more than a decade of increasing job satisfaction levels, our most recent survey revealed widespread indicators of dissatisfaction. Our upcoming 2025 study reveals whether US job satisfaction has entered a period of decline. Join this webcast to learn:

  • The key factors driving the unprecedented increase in overall job satisfaction from 2023 to 2025
  • How to identify specific workplace elements that most strongly influence employee satisfaction, and apply these insights to improve organizational engagement
  • The evolving gender dynamics of job satisfaction in 2025 and develop targeted initiatives to address gender-based disparities across specific satisfaction elements
