Job Satisfaction is Down A startling fact is that those who are employed are also experiencing record low job satisfaction. A recent survey shows that job satisfaction is down over 15% from 1987. "While one in 10 Americans is now unemployed, their working compatriots of all ages and incomes continue to grow increasingly unhappy," says Lynn Franco, director of the Consumer Research Center of The Conference Board. "Through both economic boom and bust during the past two decades, our job satisfaction numbers have shown a consistent downward trend."
