Published

on

HR technology website SelectSoftware Reviews found that South Carolina ranks in Top 5 for employee dissatisfaction.

The company came up with the rankings by measuring performance in key metrics across all 50 states, and awarding each a happiness score out of 100 to reveal where is best and worst for job satisfaction. The index evaluated factors such as annual wages, quit rates, injuries, commute times, PTO (paid time off) laws, weekly working hours, and general state happiness scores out of 300.

Alaska clinched the title as the state with the happiest employees, boasting shorter average workweeks of 31.3 hours, a generous average wage of $52,000 per annum, and an overall job satisfaction score of 69.96.

Meanwhile, employees in South Carolina encounter significant challenges, earning notably $13,000 less than their Alaskan counterparts, at $38,870. South Carolina not only ranks poorly in overall state happiness, but also sustains a high quit rate of 3.1%. Meaning, it wrestles a total employee satisfaction score of 31.65.
