Results are shown in Table 1. In the work category a little over a third of the people felt they were paid what they are worth. But, about half of the subjects agreed they felt their work was appreciated. Fifty-seven percent also believed they derived rewards from their job other than their salary. In the family category, 60% of the people interviewed felt there was a good balance in their life between their career/job requirements and their personal and family obligations. When asked if they viewed the rewards of marriage/family life today equal to its obligations Two-thirds of them agreed it was. Also, when asked if having children now or in the future was an important part of family life to them, two-thirds responded again. For the last category, Issues, when the subjects were asked if they thought the U.S. medical system does an adequate job of providing care, only 28% agreed. When asked if the education system does a fair job of educating everyone equally, 30% agreed. Twenty-nine percent of subjects felt the minimum wage today is fair for both the employees and the employers. Lastly, when asked if they thought the medical care should remain part of our free enterprise system, only 34% of the subjects responded with "yes". .
With the work category I even though 36% of the people interviewed were satisfied with their salary that an average of 54% of them were satisfied with their appreciation and the rewards they derive from work. The questions about the family issues had almost the same percentile satisfactory rate, it averaged around 64%. This category tells us while most of the sample interviewed is happy with their family life, thirty-six percent of them are not satisfied. The satisfaction response to the issues of today was a little less than a third. It seems most of the people did not agree and were not happy with the way our government is governed. The category that has the lowest group satisfactory percentage, 30%, is Issues.
