NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new study conducted by TheLadders, just in time for Valentine's Day, the majority of Americans they surveyed are not in love with their jobs. In fact, only 11.7% have found the right corporate chemistry and are 'really happy with this job.' More than 255,000 job seekers on TheLadders — the most comprehensive job-matching service for career-driven professionals — confirmed varying degrees of dissatisfaction with their workplace.

In the poll, 61.3% of job seekers who were asked to describe the way they feel about their current job admitted they are 'actively looking for a next job,' 19.0% claimed their 'job isn't awful, but not great,' 3.9% 'don't know how much more of this gig can be tolerated,' and 4.1% 'want out of this job now.' Despite the latest unemployment rate, which is currently at 8.3% and steadily trending downward, almost one-fourth of all job seekers (20.5%) surveyed stated they were "currently between jobs."
"Both personally and professionally, finding the right match is all about chemistry, and feeling motivated and appreciated in the workplace is paramount for being successful in your career and life," said Alex Douzet, President and Co-founder of TheLadders. "TheLadders Candidate Insights enable us to optimize job-matching technology to help job seekers find jobs they'll love, while also helping our 17,000 recruiters understand the needs of the person behind the resume."
Douzet suggests that workplace satisfaction can be determined by the following factors:
- corporate culture
- opportunity for growth
- sense of challenge
- work-life balance
- compensation package
On an ongoing basis, TheLadders compiles data provided by its 5 million members to educate the company about current behavioral trends in the labor market. TheLadders Candidate Insights is an exclusive feature on TheLadders, where job seekers detail their current situation and provide psychographic information to build robust profiles for recruiters and optimize their job matches.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) today launched a social media-directed Nissan 370Z build-up called "Project 370Z" at the Chicago Auto Show – where the upcoming 2013 Nissan 370Z is also being previewed. The goal of the project is to utilize the passion and knowledge of Nissan Z® fans online to help direct the creation of a unique, one-off Nissan 370Z utilizing readily available aftermarket parts and accessories. Fans will vote on potential modifications and follow along with the progress online through facebook.com/nissanperformance.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120209/CL48818LOGO)(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080506/NISSANBADGELOGO)
"Car companies build project vehicles all the time, but we thought it'd be interesting to harness the power of social media to reach out to Z® enthusiasts – the people who are doing this to their own cars everyday," said Jon Brancheau, vice president, Nissan Marketing, NNA. "Together we'll create a vehicle that expands on the already outstanding performance and style of the Nissan 370Z with a balance of street and track ready modifications. Then we'll share the finished project at upcoming Z® car enthusiast gatherings around the country."
Project 370Z will be built in several phases – power, handling/brakes, interior and exterior. Fan Likes, Comments and Wall Posts will be reviewed over the course of each voting session and the part or accessory with the most fan support will be chosen for the build. For example, in the initial Power Phase, fans might vote between a turbocharger or supercharger for the factory 3.7-liter V6. Phase 2 may include suspension and braking system, since the finished vehicle is expected to see substantial track time. Fans will take part and share in every aspect right up until the final design is revealed at its planned debut set for late May at the annual "ZDayZ" event.
ZDayZ is an annual Z® car enthusiast gathering that takes place in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. Each year the event draws hundreds of Nissan Z®, GT-R and other Nissan performance car enthusiasts from all over North America. This year's ZDayZ will be held on May 17-20. Attendees will participate in a car show, exhaust sound-off, dyno competition, group dinners and multiple group drives – including runs on "The Tail of the Dragon," which has 318 curves over an 11-mile stretch of scenic Tennessee mountain highway.
"We're excited to see how this group-sourced Z® will come out and how it will perform on both the street and track," said Brancheau. "Social media has become a powerful communications tool and a great way for us to stay connected with our tremendous fan base. Immediacy, like social media itself, is another benefit of Project 370Z – which will be built from start to finish in less than four months."
In addition to its debut at ZDayZ, Project 370Z will be shown at other enthusiast events such as ZCON 2012 and the 2012 SEMA show. The finished 370Z will also be made available for testing by leading enthusiast publications, forums and blogs.
The 2013 Nissan 370Z, which goes on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide in June 2012, features a number of enhancements – including a revised front fascia with vertical LED daytime running lights.
