According to a global poll taken by Monster.com and published on
RecruitingTrends.com that is the per cent of US workers willing to accept less money for their ideal job.The poll states; “We see a general consensus among workers around the globe that people are open to pursuing more fulfilling careers, not just a fuller wallet,” states Norma Gaffin, director of career content, Monster.” We find this to be especially true for the Gen Y people.

Norma goes on to comment specifically about the US; “It’s interesting to note that despite some notions of a skittish economy, U.S. workers are still willing to be compensated less for a job that they are really passionate about.”

Our position supports this notion that it isn’t always about the money. Companies that help their employees enjoy their work and have a culture that gets to the employee’s real motivation, will always win when it comes to attracting and retaining top talent.
