Title and opening paragraphs from a press release issued by
The Conference Board:
Job Satisfaction on the Decline
Aug. 21, 2002
More Americans are expressing unhappiness with their jobs,
The Conference Board reports in a special survey released today.
The not-for-profit business group finds growing numbers of
Americans are less satisfied with their jobs compared to seven
years ago. Only about half of those surveyed say they are happy
in their jobs, down from 59 percent in 1995. The decline in job
satisfaction is found among workers of all ages and across all
income brackets.
The survey is based on a representative sample of 5,000 U.S.
households, conducted for The Conference Board by NFO WorldGroup,
a member of The Interpublic Group of Companies (NYSE: IPG).
