Not just a job: New evidence on the quality of work paid gradsoflife
Workers were asked about the factors that matter most for overall job quality on pay, including job security, opportunity for advancement, benefits, stability, and dignity. Combining those factors led to the creation of an index of job satisfaction. Not surprisingly, people that had better jobs across the list of indicators also tended to have higher rates of life satisfaction.found that 44 percent of workers surveyed said they had “mediocre” jobs while 16 percent said they are in “bad” jobs.
Workers at all income levels generally agree on the job quality dimensions most important to them. Enjoying one’s work and having a sense of purpose are broadly prioritized; few workers want their employment situation to be “just a job.” Most workers say their level of pay has improved in recent years, but that other dimensions of job quality have not. Another troubling sign for job quality is that employers are less likely to offer benefits now compared to the recent past. The share of adults aged 18 to 64 who are covered by private insurance fell to 61% in 2016, down from 69% in 2000 and 72% in 1980.
Workers are more likely to have good jobs if they work for larger organizations and are in roles that allow them to be creative, learn new skills and do their best work.
