According to a new study conducted by the Institute of Brazilian Economics (FGV Ibre), a significant majority of respondents, 78.1%, expressed they are 'satisfied' or 'very satisfied' with their current jobs. This sentiment represents the highest percentage found since the survey began addressing job satisfaction in June 2025. In contrast, only 6.1% of respondents reported being 'dissatisfied' or 'very dissatisfied', which is the lowest figure recorded in the series of surveys, highlighting a generally positive outlook among workers in Brazil.

However, for those who reported dissatisfaction, low remuneration was predominantly cited as the primary reason for their feelings. This highlights a continuing trend where low pay remains an alarming issue for many workers, as over 60% of dissatisfied individuals attributed their feelings to inadequate compensation. The survey reflects not only personal feelings about job satisfaction but also underlines broader economic concerns regarding wage levels within the Brazilian labor market.

The results of this survey could have implications for employers and policymakers. Understanding the high levels of job satisfaction could encourage businesses to maintain or enhance their work environments, while addressing wage issues could help reduce the dissatisfaction cited by a minority of the workforce. As Brazil navigates economic challenges, the insights from this survey may guide discussions around labor policies and employment strategies.
