South China Daily recently held a questionnaire survey about the
pressures of the office workers. Ninety-seven percent of 5,000 responders
said they were under pressure, of which 30% complained the pressure was
unendurable.
However, the result also showed something on the bright side. More than
80% of the responders said that pressure would not be a serious problem.
"It is one's attitude toward it that counts," claimed one responder.
Most of the 5,000 responders live in Shenzhen, 45% of whom have worked
for less than 3 years. About 50% of the responders work in privately
owned enterprises. Thirty-four percent of them have a monthly income of
less than 2,000 yuan. Twenty-four percent of them earn 2,000 to 3,000
yuan per month. The monthly salary of 26% of them is over 3,000 yuan but
less than 5,000 yuan. Only 16% of the responders could get more than
5,000 yuan per month.
Most of the complainers gave no thought to where the pressure came at
all. The survey showed that housing, education and medical care were the
principal sources of the financial pressures. Worries about their future
pressed 31% of the office workers very hard. Neglect by their bosses put
16% of the responders under very heavy pressure.
