According to the Conference Board’s 2023 report on Job Satisfaction, US workers’ job satisfaction is on the rise - climbing from 56.8% in 2020 to 60.2% in 2021 and  62.3% in 2022 - with improved work/life balance a significant contributing factor. 

In fact, the latest figure of 62.3% job satisfaction is the highest ever recorded in the 36 years that this report has been produced and continues a steady upward trend in job satisfaction since hitting an all-time low of 42.6% in 2010 in the wake of the financial crisis. 

Interestingly, hybrid-remote workers are more satisfied on average than either on-site workers or fully-remote workers are.
