Workers Don't See a Happy New Year

From Workforce Management:
This is normally a time of hope, when people everywhere celebrate and contemplate the new year that will soon be upon us. It is a season of warm feelings and good spirits as we look ahead. And, that's why a survey released this week by Hudson is jarring and disconcerting.
• Nearly half (46 percent) of workers surveyed feel the leaders of their organization believe the economy is getting worse.
• More than one in five (21 percent) workers expect their job prospects in the coming year to be worse than in 2007, compared with 15 percent who felt this way a year ago. Some 30 percent say it is not at all likely they will be looking for a new job next year (compared with 26 percent last year).
• Just 57 percent of workers expect to earn more in 2008, down from 63 percent last year.
