This is just a small sampling I dug up on where we are at as a society…
Here is the data…
Overall, Gallup found that only 13% of workers feel engaged by their jobs. That means they feel a sense of passion for their work, a deep connection to their employees and they spend their days driving innovation and moving their company forward.
The vast majority, some 63%, are “not engaged,” meaning they are unhappy but not drastically so. In short, they’re checked out. They sleepwalk through their days, putting little energy into their work.
A full 24% are what Gallup calls “actively disengaged,” meaning they pretty much hate their jobs. They act out and undermine what their coworkers accomplish.
Add the last two categories and you get 87% of workers worldwide who, as Gallup puts it, “are emotionally disconnected from their workplaces and less likely to be productive.” In other words, work is more often a source of frustration than one of fulfillment for nearly 90% of the world’s workers. That means that most workplaces are less productive and less safe than they could be and employers are less likely to create new jobs.
Now its important to note that data is from 2013, which means after covid, “the summer of love” and the workforce being flipped on its head with the work from home mandates that was forced on everyone, its safe to assume that number is way worse.

Talking about covid, lets take a look at obesity, depression and stress since 2020.
But first lets look at data before hand and define obesity since that is a sensitive topic now.
Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, which is calculated by dividing one’s weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared, or by dividing one’s weight in pounds by their height in inches squared and then multiplying by 703[2].
Those numbers have been changed though, I remember when BMI used to be based on 20 for women and 25 for men so that means they are skewing the baseline to either make people feel better or manipulate the data so it doesn’t look as bad.
Now lets look at 2020 and 2021…
A study of 7,753 participants in April 2020 from four countries (63% participants from the U.S) found that 36% reported eating less healthy, 44% reported an increase in snacking, and 27% reported weight gain.
Almost a year later, the American Psychological Association (APA) conducted a national survey in February 2021 regarding stress in the adult American population and found that many reported undesired changes in weight, consumed more alcohol to cope with stress, and had sleep disruptions during the pandemic
More specifically, 42% of the respondents claimed they had gained more weight since the start of the pandemic (men reported a greater weight gain than women) [2 ]. In these studies, and others during the pandemic, a key finding was that those who had higher stress, were obese or overweight, younger or with lesser incomes.
