Turnover: According
to the Conference Board, “Americans are growing increasingly unhappy with their
jobs.” Job satisfaction has been steadily declining, dropping from 61 percent of
people who were happy with their positions in the mid-1980s to less than 50
percent now. Workers younger than 25 tend to be the least satisfied, although
disenchantment has spread “among all workers, regardless of age, income or even
residence.” Many companies are failing in key areas, including “performance
review processes, workload, work/life balance, communication channels and
potential for future growth.” About 20 percent of these disgruntled workers
expect to occupy different jobs a year from now.
