Abstract	A study examined adults' attitudes and experience related to work and the selection of a career or job. Data were gathered through a telephone survey of a sample of 1,003 adults (659 employed either full- or part-time), 18 years of age and older, conducted in June and July 1999. The following areas were explored: current employment status; the need for help in the last year with selecting or getting a job; sources of help and information in selecting, changing, or getting a job; evaluation of availability and usefulness of information; use of job or career counseling; perceived need for more job training or education; future employment outlook; satisfaction with current job, reasons for leaving a job; how adults get started in a job or career; on-the-job assistance; experience of conflict between job and home; perception of discrimination in the workplace; and perception of globalization. Some of the key findings of the study were the following: (1) 9 percent of adults in the labor force reported needing help in making career plans or in selecting, changing, or getting a job; (2) 41 percent of employed adults reported they started in their job or career through a conscious choice and plan; (3) 80 percent of adults like their job very much or quite a bit; (4) 53 percent of adults say they will need more training or education to maintain or increase their earning power; (5) 29 percent say they experience a great deal or quite a lot of conflict between home and work; (6) most employed adults (73 percent) do not believe discrimination exists at their place of work; and (7) almost 40 percent of employed adults do not believe globalization will affect their job. (The report includes three technical appendixes explaining the survey, and detailed tabulation.) (KC)
