Workers Say Employers Not Adapting to Their Evolving Needs and Priorities

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Despite a historically low unemployment rate and the beginning effects of a labor shortage, a recent survey shows that many workers say their employers are not taking the necessary steps to retain them. In addition, less than half of the U.S. workforce (43 percent) say they are satisfied with their
current jobs, according to the comprehensive study released today by Spherion Corporation (NYSE: SFN), a recruiting, staffing and workforce solutions provider.


"Our Study indicates some very troubling trends in the employee-employer relationship," says Roy Krause, Spherion(R) president and CEO. "The workforce is largely dissatisfied with their employers' efforts on the factors they feel are most important to them and will keep them in their current jobs."
