New York’s Conference Board, a century-old research firm, began studying employee satisfaction and engagement 25 years ago. Their work shows that worker happiness has fallen every year since--in good economic times and bad. Today, over half of American workers effectively hate their jobs.

Well of course. The American economy was reengineered, from being driven by invention, innovation and productivity increases to being driven by just making everyone work harder.

When you deliberately hurt working conditions and cheapen wages as an ideological crusade on behalf of the Protestant Work Ethic and the spirit of capitalism, of course people will hate their jobs!
