| Welcome to the Gallup Brief, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! This week, we take a look at our top five articles, plus a bonus: | | 1. Political Turmoil in Kazakhstan | | | Despite allegations of foreign agents and terrorists stoking public discontent in the mineral-rich nation, Gallup data document Kazakhstanis' growing frustration with their government, their electoral process and their ability to make ends meet.
Read Article | | | | 2. Fewer Bookworms | | | Americans are reading fewer books than ever, at least since we started asking in 1990. Today, Americans read an average of 12.6 books per year. In 1999, that average was 18.5. Can you guess which demographic declined the most? College grads! A whopping 17% of U.S. adults did not read any books in the past year.
Read Article | | | | 3. Some Are Never Going Back! | | | With remote work only becoming more common through the variants and surges of COVID-19, I spoke to my own boss about the millions of workers who will likely never return to in-office work. Listen to our conversation on what we learned about the top three reasons people cite for preferring a hybrid model, with employees working remotely and in the office.
Listen | | | | 4. Como Te Llamas? | | | A new term is trying to enter the demographic lexicon: Latinx. We took a look at whether that term is actually preferred among those who identify as Latino/a or Hispanic. What we found may surprise you.
Read Article | | | | 5. Infrequent Flyers | | | Fewer Americans relied on air travel to reach their destinations in 2021. Air travel is down most prominently among employed adults. That's likely a concerning omen for business travel.
Read Article | | | | 6. Stuck in the Middle | | | | *Published here only | | Tensions between the U.S. and Russia over the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine have been building since late last year. The U.S. and Russia showed little progress in talks. Ukrainians exhibit relatively little faith in the leadership of either country, although they are three times more likely to approve of U.S. leadership. In 2021, 37% of Ukrainians approved of the leadership of the U.S., while 12% approved of Russia's leadership. | | | | And that's this week's Brief — your source on the world's news, through the voice of its citizens.
