Indeed's 2024 Workforce Insights Report

At Indeed, our core focus is connecting people to better work. But what is “better work”?

Our inaugural Workforce Insights Report provides research into what matters most to workers in 2024.

Based on a survey of 5,000+ U.S. workers, we’ve explored whether people want to apply to jobs — and what’s holding them back.
