It's a notch higher than the 44% of global workers who say they're stressed every day.

In the U.S., the majority of people work at a certain location based on requirements from leadership, or they make the decision themselves. Just 13% of workers decide where they work based on discussions they have with their team; incidentally, they're also the most engaged.
