Honest Labor Survey

This is a survey about labor, the jobs we do in exchange for wages or a salary. This survey is intended for people who are currently working, but if not, you can use your previous job in order to answer.

All questions on this survey are 100% anonymous and fully optional. Feel free to answer with as little or as much information as you'd like.

I created this survey because I'm curious about the working conditions of others and really curious about potential responses.

Yes, enthusiastically and immediately

I would, but only after it's clear a majority of my coworkers are with me

Choose the option that best describes your situation:

I am satisfied with my job, and although there are things I'd like to change, they aren't that important and I plan to stay for now

I am satisfied with my job, but the pay or benefits isn't enough for me to stay here long-term

I am neutral, neither satisfied or unsatisfied with my job

I am unsatisfied with my job, but I lack the 'qualifications' for something that better suits my needs or aptitudes

I am unsatisfied with my job, and am currently applying and interviewing elsewhere

I am unsatisfied with my job, but lack the resources to move to an area with better opportunities

I am unsatisfied with my job, but it pays me very well or has nice perks so I'm not looking for something else
