Basing our estimates on the previously mentioned statistics about jobs, we reached a number of some 17 million US employees who hate their job. Let’s consider that the 13% of actively disengaged workers from Gallup’s yearly employee engagement study hate their job. From that, we calculated 13% of Statista’s data on the number of US employees who hold full-time positions. According to this data, more than 17 million Americans are miserable at work.
