The Great Discontent in 2023 (US)

We surveyed 750 US-based workers in 2021 to gather insights on what matters to workers in a job in the United States.

We asked them again in 2023 so we can better understand the changing preferences, aspirations, and values of employees over the last two years.

Now, we have results.
