Don't Be Blue: Mondays in 2013 are Getting Better! January is often a time for major personal changes, encompassing everything from a healthier lifestyle to kicking off the hunt for a new job or career.

At the beginning of 2013, 59* of people are satisfied' or 'very satisfied' with their job. 23 were neutral about their current situation. While only 18* said they were 'unsatisfied or 'very unsatisfied'. More people feel secure in their jobs than one year ago.

More good news for the public sector: staff entertainment budgets rose for 36.8% of industry workers, from 8.4% to 45.2% during 2012. Employers are raising their use of incentives. During 2011, 22.4% of employers used them; during 2012, this jumped to 34.8%. Promotions also rose 4.9%. New Employee Confidence on the Rise! Finance, technology, education, and public sector jobs are most popular with those looking for a new career; employee confidence is overcoming negative headlines to ensure that a broader set of sectors is benefiting from fresh talent.
