And, according to a new report form the Conference Board, if you’re under 25, 65% of you are dissatisfied with your current job (and the prospects are pretty dim, too).
Slate quotes a Time article -

…that only 45 percent of Americans are satisfied with their jobs—the lowest number since the group began conducting the poll 22 years ago. Researchers suspect the drop may be caused by two factors: workers’ growing disinterest in their jobs (in another record low, only 51 percent of people polled said they found their work interesting), and poor wage growth in comparison to the cost of living.

The report continues, while growing dissatisfaction can be somewhat pegged to the recession, economists say that the trend has been on the rise since the ’80s.

Not happy with your J-O-B? Maybe it’s time to activate Plan B.
