Public attention on China's "Post-80 generation" has always been high since they make up the first only-child generation in the country, as the family planning policy was formulated in the late 1970s.

People of the "Post-80 generation" are no longer young kids now. They have left school and found their places in different industries. How do they feel about their work, a recent survey helps us to take a glimpse.

The survey was conducted in Beijing's central business district or CBD, organized by a local technology company and a lifestyle website. Over 1,000 young people born in the years from 1980 to 1985 took part in the survey. China.org reports the story.

The survey reveals that nearly 70 percent of these young workers feel dissatisfied with their salary. They complain about the imbalance between effort and reward at work and some hope to improve it by changing jobs frequently.

However, most of them are disappointed about the new job too, as about 60 percent responded that they missed their former bosses. Only 10 percent said they disliked their former bosses.

A lack of family responsibility was another problem disclosed through the survey since only 11 percent respondents said that they used their salary to support their families. Thirty-four percent keep their money for themselves and the rest of them have no idea what they have used their money for.
