Where Workers Hate Their Jobs

A HUFFINGTON POST GRAPHIC Where Workers Are Most Miserable Only about 13 percent of employees worldwide are engaged at work – emotionally invested in creating value for their companies – which makes the U.S. look pretty good with 30 percent engagement. Actively disengaged workers around the world outnumber their engaged colleagues 2:1, and the ratio is steeper in areas with high unemployment and other political and socioeconomic disruptions.
