How Satisfied Are You with Your Job?

According to a survey released February, 2007 by The Conference Board, chances are you or someone you know may be experiencing some dissatisfaction with their work. According to the survey results, less than half of all Americans reported being satisfied with their jobs.

Their findings also report that the level of satisfaction for employees under the age of 25 is at the lowest level in the survey's 20-year history. Less than 40% of employees in that age group reported that they are satisfied with their jobs. These results are bad news for employers and employees.
