Public and private sector -- we like our jobs
This week's issue of BusinessWeek has a fascinating package of stories focusing on the workforce.
A few interesting items from the package of stories:
* BusinessWeek conducted a poll to find out what people think about their work and, something akin to the findings in FCW's recent survey of government IT workers, people generally like their jobs.
* They asked people, "Which of these places would you most like to work?"
The place I'm working now: 50 percent
Google: 29 percent
The government: 15 percent
Goldman Sachs: 6 percent
So government work beats out Goldman Sachs.
* The BW poll shows that there is a stark difference between how older and younger people view work.
Young execs and managers are far less likely than their elders to put work first in their lives or to be content with their bosses. And what to make of this tidbit? People under 30 are more likely to have accidentally called their boss Mom or Dad.
