An August 29, 2018 survey by The Conference Board showed that happiness at work is continuing to improve with 51% of U.S. employees saying they feel satisfied and engaged. The study covered a snapshot of the national workforce where approximately 1,500 employees discussed 23 job satisfaction components.<\/p>\n

Despite the trends in satisfaction, which have continued to improve over the last seven years, \u201cjust 37.5% feel content with their potential for growth, 32.6% say they\u2019re pleased with their organization\u2019s educational\/job training programs and 26.3% are happy with their employer\u2019s promotion policies.\u201d<\/p>\n
