It turns out most of are pretty satisfied with our jobs according to a recent study by the Canadian Education and Research Institute for Counselling.
Jeff Landine, an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education at UNB, has reviewed the study and found we also have a better balance between work and our personal lives than most countries.
The study shows a whopping 81% of us are satisfied with our jobs, 86% like the work we do and 78% are happy with our overall lives It also found 88% of us like our coworkers and 62% are content and don’t plan to switch jobs. Landine isn’t surprised by the numbers explaining the more control we feel we have in our jobs, the happier we are.
The downside? 39% of us feel we aren’t paid fairly. Landine says when you look at pay, perks or interest in work, that can lead to dissatisfaction.
