Is the job hugging job replacement?

During the financial crisis in 2008., many Americans considered that the economy would collapse, and the uncertainty of the work was widespread. In two Gallup polls From the beginning of 2009. year, only about 10% said that it was a good time to find a quality job. Lyrics to the popular music song Since the 1970s, “Take this job and push it,” They’re over and become “Take this job,” because they were deeply concerned about what they were deeply worried.

In a Michigan University of Michijuna University From their consumer surveys, the share of consumers expects unemployment to deteriorate in the year, about 60%, reading that was last seen during the financial crisis. While Work statistics office She tells us that the unemployment rate moved in a narrow 4.0% to 4.2% of the span for more than a year, Americans are not convinced. In Economist / Yougov Poll, 32% said that the unemployment rate increased while 22% were reduced. Americans are increasingly worried about the possible recession with a third no later than Economist / Yougov Survey by saying we are already in one. However, the Anketri says that the belief is that unemployment is a very or a little serious problem changed a little last year.

There are several reasons for the stability of answers to the seriousness of unemployment. First, the Americans see inflation as a far more serious threat of unemployment, and they are concerned that tariffs of President Trump will worsen things. In University of Michigan UniversitySpontaneous references to plan main items in advance to reduce the impact of tariffs in 2016. years ago, they rose again after they have been spent on specific objects such as peelishers in 2018. years, but the mentioned climbing in 2018. Years. But she mentioned climbed for her laundry.

Another reason why the views of the seriousness of unemployment did not change much in the past year is that most Americans feel confident in that its Work safety even as they take care of other workers. In Gallup is the latest5% of adult employees said it was very likely 10% something likely to lose their jobs or be fired in the next year. Fifty percent said it was not probably another 34% more likely to be likely. For those with jobs, concern is low.

Gallup asked a different issue about the job security for the work annually since 2001. years and occasionally before. In 2024 Answers, 57% of adult employees fully or part-time are said that they are fully satisfied with their job security, 26% something satisfied, 8% a bit dissatisfied, and 5% completely dissatisfied. “Completely satisfied” the answer fell slightly from the low sixties in the last few years, but it was still robust. In Pew’s since December 2024. Year reading33% said they had great job security, 36% fair amount and 17% some. Only 8% said they had 5% at all. These answers have been a little changed since 2023. Years.

It is interesting aside: At the time of the transfer at the end of 2024. PEVs before the Federal Federal Workforce Returned, Government workers It was much more likely than other groups to say they had a lot of job security. Forty-seven percent of them, compared to 29% of the private sector workers, it gave this answer.

American general pessimism about economics as a whole now and concerns about the looks for their colleagues for their colleagues, causes most workers to remain current jobs. In PEV’s research, only 11% said that they would probably look for work in the next 12 months, while 14% said it was somewhat probably. Sixty three percent in Pew research said it was very or a little unlikely to. In Gallup’s Recent Data18% said they were watching or actively looking for a new job. More than a quarter gave that the answer in questions were asked between 2014. and 2021. years before the abdomen intervened and made the appearance of changing the district distance of the job. For some, “the hugs of work” replaced the “job jump”.

The data give us a divided attitude screen. Americans are worried about the state of people without work. At the same time, as we approach the working day, most employees are reasonably confident in their job situation. Both things are true. Tomorrow the column will look at what people say about the different characteristics of their jobs.
