In the US, " belief in work is crumbling among people in their 20s and 30s" , says Benjamin Hunnicutt, a leading historian of work. " They are not looking to their job for satisfaction or social advancement."

“在美国，20 多岁和 30 多岁的人对工作的信念正在崩塌，他们已经不指望工作能提升自己满意度或是指望工作能促进社会进步。” 专门研究工作的著名历史学家 Benjamin Hunnicutt 这样说道。
