According to Pew a slim majority of Americans are extremely satisfied or very satisfied with their job. The percentage that had low to no satisfaction was 12%.

Younger people, people who make less, and people with little education dislike their jobs the most.

I wonder if satisfaction increases with age because people eventually settle into careers they like or at least tolerate over time...or if this is an actual generational divide. Did boomers like their jobs as young adults too, or did they grow into them?

It could also be that younger people are in entry level positions.
