Below are some recent additions:
Interesting Work Ranks #1 With Visitors to
jobquality.ca
A good job involves a lot more than a decent pay cheque according to visitors
to our special Web site, www.jobquality.ca
CPRN recently asked jobquality.ca visitors to rank the things they value in a
job. Respondents rated 17 job characteristics on a scale of one to five (from
“not at all important” to “very important”).
While this survey is not random, it accords with the results of earlier
random surveys undertaken by CPRN in the priority given to non-monetary job
characteristics. For example, 90% of our respondents ranked interesting work as
“very important”, well ahead of such economic rewards as good benefits (45%),
and good pay (37%).
