Your job is more stressful than mine! A minority of American workers describe their own job as extremely stressful--but the vast majority believe most others experience extreme stress. Find other perception glitches here: theconversation.com/new-research-d…

Has Canada become the land of extreme inequality? My new piece with Bruce Liang and Alex Wilson in the Financial Post finds that some believe it more than others: lnkd.in/gTtnNbDx

Over the past year, the share of Liberal & NDP voters who describe Canada’s economy as “poor” decreased. By contrast, Conservative voters — who already held a much more negative view of the economy in 2023 — soured even further. 👉 lnkd.in/gTtnNbDx

Why would anyone continue to work into their 80s? In my latest Globe & Mail piece, I write that we all get psychosocial rewards from work –that's why some don't want to give it up /via The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/business/caree…

My latest column in the Globe and Mail (with Daniel Hill) tells a story about the nature and consequences of fun at work using quant and qual data from my 2024 Measuring Employment Sentiments and Social Inequality (MESSI) study. The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/business/caree…

I've been tracking how people think and talk about getting ahead...so Harris's "ambition" message caught my attention. In this piece, I ask: Will it resonate? theconversation.com/in-the-age-of-… via The Conversation Canada

After years of media messaging about a supposedly new era of "anti-work/anti-ambition," where do things stand? There's been some softening in the importance Americans place on "hard work." 👉 lnkd.in/ehFRWtVK

It's who you know. What does it take to get ahead? My research finds softening belief in "hard work" and "ambition"--but a rise in "knowing the right people." 👉 theconversation.com/in-the-age-of-…

All the hype that we're in an "age of anti-ambition" is overblown. My latest surveys find that most Canadians still believe in its importance--but slightly less strongly than Americans. 👉 lnkd.in/ehFRWtVK

I've continued to track Canadian workers' perceptions of the state of the economy--finding slight improvement from a year ago, with the share reporting "poor" dipping by 10 percentage points. 👉 lnkd.in/gTE6_xyH

My piece in the Globe & Mail finds that most Canadians report high satisfaction with their work. At the same time, we don’t think others are satisfied doing their jobs. People believe a key reason is the amount we complain about work. /via The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/business/caree…

And you thought Americans were in a foul mood about money! My new piece in The Conversation shows how much more pessimistic Canadians are--and how perception glitches I've discovered about work also apply to economic life. 👇theconversation.com/canadians-are-… via The Conversation Canada

Believing that most others are worse off than they really are is a problem. I show that 27% of Canadians & Americans say they are struggling financially. That's a concern, but 65% of Canadians & 43% of Americans perceive that most others are struggling👉 lnkd.in/gNcHw-K6
