Job Security

Americans are not nearly as worried about losing their jobs as they were during the recession, according to a new Gallup survey. In fact job security is the highest it's ever been in the history of this survey, which dates back to 1993.

The survey shows that 58 percent of Americans are completely satisfied with their job security. That number had been around 50 percent for the duration of the recession, and was at just 51 percent as recently as 2013. But even before the recession, American workers didn't feel this secure. The previous high for this particular question was 56 percent, recorded in 2007.

There was only one question on the job-satisfaction survey that came back worse this year than in 2013. Slightly fewer people reported that they were satisfied with the flexibility of hours their employer offered.
