The table clearly reflects the statistics of staff's job satisfaction in a certain
company. According to the data given above, we can conclude that the percentage of people
satisfied with their jobs is the highest among those over 50 year old, at about 40%. In
contrast, the percentage of the staff not satisfied with their jobs is about 64% among
those in their forties, the highest among all the three age groups.
The major determinant of satisfaction lies in people's attitudes. On the one hand, staff
members in their forties usually have to undertake a lot of responsibilities from both
their families and their careers. So, they have the least satisfaction in their jobs. On
the other hand, people over 50 generally have shifted their life goals from achieving the
ultimate success to a relatively easy and comfortable life, and therefore are inclined to
be much more satisfied with their jobs.
In view of the above reasoning, I am convinced that it is difficult for everyone to be
content with their jobs. And it is advisable that people should adjust their expectations
for work, and that companies should pay more attention to the welfare of their staff.
