Together, the findings tell a story of already-overwhelmed Americans reaching their breaking point.

Much of that burnout has developed recently.
Of the respondents who said they were at least a little burned out, nearly half said those feelings developed within the last few months.👇

There's also a stark gender gap in self-reported burnout.
Men were twice as likely to say they felt no burnout at all.

When asked if they could lead a healthy, balanced lifestyle within the current boundaries of their jobs, about two-thirds of respondents said they were able to maintain a work-life balance.

Many Americans have begun thinking about changing their career paths. About one-quarter of respondents said they were either actively or passively looking to leave their job. businessinsider.com/american-burno…
Those who took the survey were asked many questions that ranged from if they felt support from their work colleagues to if they had lost any motivation.
