    When it comes to assessments of job satisfaction, about half of U.S. workers who are not self-employed (51%) report being extremely or very satisfied with their job overall; 37% say they are somewhat satisfied, while 12% are not too or not at all satisfied with their job.

    You have to understand that most humans want their lives to have a purpose, and their job is one of the things that can provide that sense of purpose. If it’s a halfway decent job you’ll have a group of similar people all working together towards a common goal. It’s a miniature community, even if it’s not the one you’d turn to for emotional support.
