2019 Global Great Jobs Briefing
Most adults in the world want a good job, but the majority don't have one. Even smaller is the percentage of people in "great jobs" -- those that drive productivity, promote wellbeing and are good for societies. Find out where your country ranks.
Based on data from more than 140 countries, Gallup's 2019 Global Great Jobs Briefing reveals that 29% of the world's adult population reported working full time for an employer, which is a telling measure of what Gallup defines as "good jobs."
Though it's just a one-percentage-point increase from a few years ago, this growth is still remarkable. It means that roughly 100 million more people around the world have jobs that give them a measure of security to plan for the future, rather than simply living hand-to-mouth every day.
