Ready To Jump Ship?: The Insight Track: Exclusive Job Seeker Research for HR Professionals, published by careerbuilder.com, released these results from a survey of more than 2,500 workers (the sample consisted of members of SurveySite Web Panel; of the 2,500 surveyed, 1,000-plus were hiring managers):

48% of workers say they do not look forward to going to work
23% say they are dissatisfied overall with their jobs
47% of workers are dissatisfied with their pay
61% say their workloads have increased over the last six months
47% say their workloads are too burdensome
Nearly 30% of workers say they are struggling to balance personal and professional commitments
43% of workers say they plan to leave their current jobs in pursuit of a better work experience by the end of 2005
