While job satisfaction numbers continue to inch up year after year in response to a strengthening economy and lower unemployment, 49% of people are still unsatisfied with their jobs (conferenceboard.org). This means that in an office of six, three are unhappy at work. Where would you fall among those six — happy or unhappy?

Approximately 50% of people are unhappy at their jobs

Work is a big part of life. With eight hours of every 24 sleeping, means at least half of your waking hours (16) are spent at work. If those hours are unpleasant or unfulfilling, it makes for long and tiresome days, weeks, months … and years. If you dread going to work every day, you’re not alone.

Top reasons that people hate their jobs

• Compensation – too low, no benefits, no significant raises no matter how hard you work
• Career advancement – no place to grow to improve lifetime earnings potential
• Work/life balance — need more flexibility
• Stress in the workplace – bad boss, office politics and organizational culture
• Passion is gone — want more challenging, meaningful work
• No job security

While no job is perfect, there should be a level of satisfaction at the end of the day that your time is worthwhile and contributing positively to you and your family. If your job keeps you living paycheck to paycheck like 78% of American workers (CareerBuilder.com), or you have no possibility of career advancement, it may be time to stop working for someone else and take charge of your future as an independent franchise business owner and work at a job you’ll love.
