Clues: “Green” and “Earn” Answer: How much money we make

A new survey from the New York Federal Reserve Bank paints a pretty rough picture of the workforce right now.

In the 12-year history of the survey, Americans have never been so unsatisfied with their pay.  Only 52% of people are happy with how much money they make.

And the confidence workers have in getting a promotion has also dropped to record lows.

Normally, people would just leave for a better job.  But that’s getting harder to do.  The job market is not great, so a lot of employees feel stuck where they are.

But, ironically enough, workers are still expecting higher pay.  The minimum salary someone would accept for a new job just hit a record high.
