There is a wide gap in the happiness of workers in their jobs between the oldest and smallest generations.
While 57.4 % of American workers under the age of 25 are satisfied with their jobs, this does not carry a candle to 72.4 % of those who are 55 years old or older, according to Report from the Conference Council.
Although the contrast between older and younger workers is noticeable, the huge number of those who say “I love my job” is very amazing.
In all fields, job satisfaction jumped 5.7 percentage-the largest profit on the 38-year-old survey date.
“I am surprised by the sharp jump in general career satisfaction and we may have been surprised that we have seen great increases in individual elements of job satisfaction,” Alan Shuwaier, the head of the conference council, told Yahoo Finance:
The survey measures a set of factors, including compensation, pension plans and pensions, belonging to belonging, participation, mental health, performance reactions, work burden, hybrid flexibility, leadership quality, and growth opportunities.
The elements that make more different when it comes to the love of your job is to pay attention to work, followed by the quality of leadership, organizational culture, work burden, and workers’ relationships with supervisors.
He said that these factors are more important to people than the value they put on wages, rewards, health insurance and payment of holidays.
The gains were especially strong for workers, as they increased by more than 8 percentage points. However, women are still less satisfied with men with their wages, reward plans, pension plans and retirement.
Workers who earn the salaries of six numbers are somewhat more satisfied than those who earn less. Workers in hybrid work arrangements are constantly more satisfied and they are likely to remain.
Let’s go back to the oldest separation for the youngest.
There are some basic reasons for the difference in opinion. For beginners-although those who do not appreciate the burdens of management and calm work-the late employees give the priority of job elements at higher levels than younger colleagues, according to researchers.
But it deepens. “In general, the oldest workers with whom we work with more, more designed and less frustrated”, “Join Rosner, partner and co -founder of a co -founder of FlexprofssionsalsThe Boston and Washington Rental Company has told Yahoo Finance.
She said: “After years of movement in good and bad presidents, jobs and economies, they are realistic, flexible and more satisfied.” “They have more expectations that they must flourish about what the job should provide. They are not chasing heavy idealism to change the world like many in young generations. They want to contribute, feel appreciated, enjoy their work, and after years in the workforce, they know where they are suitable.”
For the younger group, the fear of the unknown may have shook them.
“The younger workers have started experimenting with a tougher labor market throughout the past year or two,” Shwayyier said. “New university graduates have a very high rate of employment. Their ability to improve wages and practical experience by switching jobs has been eaten as well.”
He added that it is also possible for younger workers to lack the benefits of work in the office.
I contacted with a handful of workers 55 and more to hear directly how happy they are and why this.
“What makes the work very satisfactory to me at this stage of my career not only that the same job is interesting to me, but it is a small organization that appreciates my experience,” Tom Pavilon, 63, who is a strategic account manager for Boston Scout Company.
But this psychological calm, which comes with years in the job that is a strong component.
“In this era, I saw everything, so the things that made you work anymore,” Pavilon said. “Some behaviors still exist in the workplace, shake your head. There are things that younger workers think they blow the world you know. The presence of this perspective makes the work more satisfactory because you do not let the noise bother you.”

For Paula Harper, 56, who lives in northern Virginia and works part -time as a virtual executive assistant for the president of the Association, “her work maintains her connected, and the level of stress is low.”
This is in a sharp contradiction with its excess contracts that work full -time in the higher education management.
Harper came out of the workforce for a period of six years to be a sponsorship of a family member.
“I just dip my feet again this year, and now gives me a little thing, but at the same time, I shouldn’t have a full, medium or high -level pressure pressure. I can stay in the game and prepare some small contributions.
“The biggest point: I am doing something,” she added, noting that finding a job was not easy after her break.
One of these happy workers who should not be ignored: employers and workers on pins and needles these days.
“Career satisfaction may remain high at the present time because the economy, wage gains and employment have been strong,” Shwayyier said. “If the uncertainty turns to stagnation and high unemployment, it is likely that satisfaction will decrease significantly.”
