Welcome to The Week in Charts, where we break down Gallup's latest insights on our constantly evolving world. Here are the five insights you shouldn't miss this week: | 1. America's Inflation Worries Hit Decades High | | As Americans grapple with skyrocketing inflation, our decades-long "most important problem" trend picked up a high in worries about inflation we haven't seen since 1985. Whether in terms of their top-of-mind concern about inflation or the percentage worried "a great deal" when asked about it directly, Americans are rattled by what appears to be at least a new interim normal of high prices. Read Article | | 2. Employer Care for Worker Wellbeing Plummets | | After a surge in U.S. workers' perceptions that their employer cares for their wellbeing at the start of the pandemic, fewer workers now report feeling supported in this important way. The percentage of workers who tell Gallup their employer cares about their overall wellbeing is now half of what it was in 2020, falling to 24%. Read Article | | 3. Pakistanis Losing Confidence in Leadership | | Prior to Prime Minister Imran Khan dissolving Pakistan's Parliament, 29% of Pakistanis in 2021 approved of the job performance of their country's leadership. This rating is the lowest in Gallup's trend since Khan took office. | | 4. Pain at the Gas Pump | | With the war in Ukraine exploding energy costs to new highs around the world, about half of Americans tell Gallup they worry "a great deal" about the availability and affordability of energy. When asked about the severity of the problem in the U.S., 44% describe the current energy situation as "very serious." Republicans (66%) are more than twice as likely as Democrats (28%) to say they worry a great deal about the affordability of energy. Read Article | | 5. Keep Calm … and Live a Better Life | | Since 2020, we've been working with our partners at Wellbeing for Planet Earth Foundation to expand the body of wellbeing research by testing more globally inclusive perspectives. In addition to measuring a range of positive and negative emotions such as enjoyment and worry, we're also studying more neutral emotions like calmness. In fact, our global research finds that among older people, a greater likelihood to live a calm life may positively affect their wellbeing. Read Article | | And that's The Week in Charts!
