What did the WSJ Job Satisfaction article say? correct answers More people now are satisfied
with their jobs than in the least 10 years. Despite this we probably won't be able to return to the

back then.
This is due to expanding job opportunities, a decline in layoffs, and an improving labor market.

growth potential
internal communication
recognition
performance reviews
wages
