Believing that most others are worse off than they really are is a problem. I show that 27% of Canadians & Americans say they are struggling financially. That's a concern, but 65% of Canadians & 43% of Americans perceive that most others are struggling👉 lnkd.in/gNcHw-K6

And you thought Americans were in a foul mood about money! My new piece in The Conversation shows how much more pessimistic Canadians are--and how perception glitches I've discovered about work also apply to economic life. 👇theconversation.com/canadians-are-… via @ConversationCA

My piece in the Globe & Mail finds that most Canadians report high satisfaction with their work. At the same time, we don’t think others are satisfied doing their jobs. People believe a key reason is the amount we complain about work. /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/business/caree…

I've continued to track Canadian workers' perceptions of the state of the economy--finding slight improvement from a year ago, with the share reporting "poor" dipping by 10 percentage points. 👉 lnkd.in/gTE6_xyH

All the hype that we're in an "age of anti-ambition" is overblown. My latest surveys find that most Canadians still believe in its importance--but slightly less strongly than Americans. 👉 lnkd.in/ehFRWtVK

After years of media messaging about a supposedly new era of "anti-work/anti-ambition," where do things stand? There's been some softening in the importance Americans place on "hard work." 👉 lnkd.in/ehFRWtVK

My latest column in the Globe and Mail (with Daniel Hill) tells a story about the nature and consequences of fun at work using quant and qual data from my 2024 Measuring Employment Sentiments and Social Inequality (MESSI) study. @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/business/caree…

Over the past year, the share of Liberal & NDP voters who describe Canada’s economy as “poor” decreased. By contrast, Conservative voters — who already held a much more negative view of the economy in 2023 — soured even further. 👉 lnkd.in/gTtnNbDx

Has Canada become the land of extreme inequality? My new piece with Bruce Liang and Alex Wilson in the Financial Post finds that some believe it more than others: lnkd.in/gTtnNbDx

Your job is more stressful than mine! A minority of American workers describe their own job as extremely stressful--but the vast majority believe most others experience extreme stress. Find other perception glitches here: theconversation.com/new-research-d…
