Is job quality better or worse? Insights from quiz data collected before and after the pandemic
Rhys Davies, Alan Felstead
Abstract
Abstract This article is based on data collected from almost 100,000 individuals who completed the www.howgoodismyjob.com quiz either side of the pandemic. The results show that overall non‐pecuniary job quality has improved, differences between occupations have shrunk and the growth of remote working is a factor behind these trends.
