The Conference Board has issued the results of a survey which shows job satisfaction has declined across all income brackets in the last nine years. While 55 percent of workers earning more than $50,000 are satisfied with their jobs, only 14 percent claim they are very satisfied.
The survey also finds that employees are least satisfied with their companies’ bonus plans, promotion policies, health plans and pensions. The majority are most satisfied with their commutes to work and their relationships with colleagues.
According to the survey, “workers in the Middle Atlantic and Mountain states are the least satisfied workers in the U.S” whereas the “East South Central region has the most content workers.”
