Feeling burned out at work? You’re not alone.
Wealth of Geeks, which publishes content about money and pop culture, used factors like income, quitting rates, commute duration, working hours, safety, and paid time off to determine the worst states to work in − and New Jersey ranks pretty high.
The Garden State came in ninth in the publication’s roundup of the Top 24.
“New Jersey scores on the top ten list of worst states for employees, with a low satisfaction score of 34.09. With a median hourly wage of $24.56, employees struggle to be well-compensated for their work,” Wealth of Geeks wrote.
