The 20 jobs with the best work-life balance
|
Version 0 of 1. The idea that we can “have it all” – work and leisure, career and family - is fading away as new research reveals our work-life balance satisfaction has decreased in the recent years. According to a survey of 60,000 employees, Glassdoor found that workers reported an average work-life balance satisfaction of 3.2 in 2015 down from 3,4 in 2012 and 3.5 in 2015. The rating is ordered by a job score based on a 5-point scale, where 1.0 means "very dissatisfied", 5.0 means "very satisfied" and 3 is just “ok”. One reason is that the traditional 9 to 5 work week is becoming obsolete. Another survey from EY found that US workers report they’re working two to four hours more a week, and 36 per cent are on the job an extra five hours or more. So where do you turn to get a job that lets you have a life? Glassdoor has identified jobs where employees get a balance by crowdsourcing information from anonymous employees. For a job title to be considered for the list, it had to receive at least 75 work-life balance ratings shared by US-based employees over the past year from a minimum of 75 companies.
