How Low Can Workers' Morale Go?

It appears that the economy has left the American worker both shaken and stirred. Despite recent minor dips in unemployment and blips in job growth, a recent survey found that employee confidence -- when it comes to job security, pay raises and the job market -- has fallen to levels last seen in the height of the recession.

According to the Glassdoor Employment Confidence Survey conducted by Harris Interactive, employees are more concerned about potential layoffs for themselves and their co-workers in the next six months than in recent quarters. Those worries seem to be highest in the West and lowest in the Midwest and South.
