The age gap in work satisfaction is a major factor in the post-pandemic work experience, according to a Pew Research Center survey. Workers 65 and older are more likely to be highly satisfied with their jobs, their co-workers, their duties, and their career prospects than workers 18 to 29. Workers under 50 are more likely to say their job is stressful and overwhelming. Some of the reasons for the gap are the higher pay, greater responsibilities, and more positive relationships that older workers enjoy, as well as the higher importance that older workers attach to their job or career.
