Turns
out most Canadians are pretty satisfied with their jobs, that's
according to a recent study by the Canadian Education and Research
Institute for Counselling.
Jeff Landine --
an assistant professor in
the faculty of education at UNB -- has reviewed the study and found
that we also have a better balance between work and our personal lives
than most countries.
The
study shows a whopping 81% of Canadians are satisfied with their jobs,
86% like the work they do and 78% are happy with their overall life. It
also found 88% like their coworkers and 62% are content and don't plan
to switch jobs. Landine isn't surprised by the numbers, and says the
more control people feel they have in their job the happier they are.
The
downside? 39% of people felt they aren't paid fairly. Landine says when
you look at pay, perks or interest in work, that can lead to
dissatisfaction.
