Even those who have jobs seem to be unhappily employed, according to new research from Accenture. More than half of business professionals around the world don't like their jobs, but at least they're willing to stay with their companies and create new opportunities.

The findings have little to do with gender. Almost equal numbers of professional men and women say they're dissatisfied -- 57 percent of women and 58 percent of men. But nearly three-quarters (70 percent of women and 69 percent of men), plan to stay with their companies, according to the research that was released as part of Accenture's 2011 celebration of International Women's Day.
