More about this project
What makes a job good? Employment quality is a puzzle with many different pieces. Solving it takes more than decent pay and benefits. It takes job security, autonomy, a stable work schedule, and a safe and supportive work environment.
These are just a few of the findings from a new study by the Project for Middle Class Renewal at the University of Illinois. The study surveyed over 3,500 workers across Illinois to figure out what matters most for how they rate their overall employment situation.
A gauge visualization showing an employment quality score based on compensation, work hours & scheduling, job security & opportunity, and work environment.
Dive into the results of the survey and compare workers by job location and demographic groups to see how employment quality varies across Illinois.
