About 1.4M people hate their jobs in Georgia, survey says

ATLANTA – A new survey reveals that a significant portion of Georgia’s workforce is dissatisfied with their current jobs. 

According to a report by the online guide CardRates.com, 28% of workers in the state—equating to nearly 1.4 million people—admit they hate their jobs. This finding is part of a broader national trend, where 38% of American workers, or about 59 million people, report job dissatisfaction.

Despite their dissatisfaction, 66% of workers expressed a willingness to consider switching jobs to pursue their childhood dreams. However, many are held back by obstacles such as financial limitations, family commitments, and a lack of opportunities.

The most desired childhood dream jobs include becoming a doctor, teacher, musician, athlete, veterinarian, or actor/actress.
