Job Satisfaction 2024: Is US Job Satisfaction at Risk?
Our latest job satisfaction survey, fielded in November 2023, saw a slight increase in overall job satisfaction, resulting in the highest rating since the survey's inception in 1987. However, there was a notable discrepancy: all 26 sub-components of satisfaction decreased compared to 2022. This suggests that despite a general uptick, the long-term growth in US job satisfaction that this survey has recorded for the past 13 years might be at risk. In this briefing, we explore wide differences in worker satisfaction by gender, work arrangements, job switchers vs. stayers, and tenure, and we reveal the ‘sweet spot’ where worker retention and satisfaction converge.
