Like those in many departments, IT workers are currently doing more work with fewer resources and shrinking budgets. But are they still happy with their jobs?
Yes, though the stress seems to be building, according to a recent ComputerWorld survey.
Here are the answers to the questions the survey asked:
1. Are you making enough money?
- Most are happy with their salaries — 43% say they’re satisfied, and 17% are very satisfied.
- Only 3% say they’re very dissatisfied, but
- 25% said they’re less happy about their pay than they were a year ago.
2. How’s your job security?
- Only 11% feel they’re jobs aren’t secure.
- 25% said they feel more secure than they did last year.
- Just 14% feel less secure, and the rest feel the same.
3. Is your work too stressful?
- 85% of IT pros report having stressful jobs. Just 1% said their jobs are not stressful at all.
- Fortunately, though, 21% said they feel less stress than a year ago. That’s less than the 19% who feel more stress.
4. Overall, are you satisfied?
- 65% of those surveyed are satisfied with their jobs.
- An equal amount (21%) reported being more and less satisfied than last year.
