Most Americans Feel the Same About Job Security as They Did a Year Ago. (infographic)

This shouldn’t really surprise anyone since the unemployment level has stabilized. But there’s still that 1% who isn’t sure?! Who are these people? Did they have any sense of cognition, or are they simply mindless automatons shuffling through their lives on autopilot?
What I love about this graphic is that it highlights the effect of youth and education on the perception of job security. Those younger than 30 feel more secure than those over 30, which makes sense given that younger workers usually cost employers less money (so they are apt to keep them) and they have more mobility due to more recent and relevant education a skill set.
What I found surprising is that those in the 30-49 age bracket felt most insecure. I would have thought it would be the 50 and over set feeling most insecure.
