In recent years, the trend of sadness among workers has been increasing globally.

This is evident from the *State of the Global Workplace 2025* report released by Gallup, an international research and consulting firm.

Every year, Gallup conducts surveys on aspects of worker well-being in approximately 160 countries.

The respondents number around 1,000 people per country per year, with the criteria being civilian residents, aged 15 and over, and employed or working for someone else.

Gallup found that in 2014, only 15% of global worker respondents often felt sad.

However, this proportion continued to increase, reaching its peak in 2020. At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the proportion of global workers who felt sad reached 25%.

After that, the proportion decreased for two consecutive years. But, starting in 2023, the figure consistently rose again.

By 2024, the proportion of global workers who felt sad reached 23%. This is the highest level since the pandemic passed, and higher than the pre-pandemic period, as shown in the graph.

This rising trend of sadness coincides with a decline in respondents' life evaluations.

The proportion of global worker respondents who viewed their lives positively or felt they were thriving decreased from 35% in 2022 to 34% in 2023, and further down to 33% in 2024.

"After five years of steady improvement, global worker life evaluations fell in 2023 and fell again in 2024," said the Gallup team in the article *Global Engagement Falls for the Second Time Since 2009* (April 23, 2025).

"Many factors influence how people feel about life, including satisfaction with income and cost of living. Many employees spend most of their lives working, and that work experience influences their life evaluations," they continued.
