37% of British workers think their jobs are meaningless

More than a third of British workers say their job is making no meaningful contribution to the world – but most of them aren’t looking for another one

Earlier this year workers in London were greeted on their morning commute by signsbemoaning the meaninglessness of much of modern employment. One read: “It’s as if someone were out there making up pointless jobs for the sake of keeping us all working.” Another: “Huge swathes of people spend their days performing tasks they secretly believe do not really need to be performed.” No one knows who put the signs up, but the quotes were taken from a 2013 article in STRIKE! magazine that did well at the time.

New YouGov research has sought to verify if the attitude expressed in the article is as prevalent as it says …. https://yougov.co.uk
