Maybe people happy with their jobs are more likely to respond than others. I'm sure that a statistically random selection of the general population would turn up much less "90-102%" job satisfaction than we see here.

Speaking for myself, I can't decide whether to say 51% or 49%.

There was a time when I would have responded with a big fat 100%. I was half-owner of a typesetting business with about a dozen employees. We had a great time, keeping everyone happy ~ workers, clients, and ourselves. Unfortunately, our entire industry disappeared pretty suddenly, when computer technology (and marketing) advanced to the point where our customers could set their own type and create their own ads, brochures, etc. Our trade association even went bankrupt!

Since that happened back in the early 90s, I've been through periods of unemployment and underemployment. The job I have now is just tolerable enough that I've kept it for almost 10 years, during which I've received exactly one pay raise. On the other hand, I'm very grateful that my employer took good care of me during my extended illness last year, so the experience has not been entirely negative.

Maybe it's just that I was spoiled by my relatively brief earlier career as a successful business owner, but it's hard to feel a whole lot of satisfaction now that I have to live with less income, less autonomy, less hope for advancement, and such bleak prospects for retirement that I'll probably have to continue in similar circumstances until the day I die...
