According to a 2022 survey conducted in the United States, 36 percent of full-time and part-time employees reported to be experiencing a moderate level of burnout. Overall, 15 percent of respondents said they were at a high level of burnout, and eight percent stated their levels of burnout were very high.

U.S. employees and COVID-19 burnout

Although burnout was reported amongst the U.S. workforce before the COVID-19 pandemic, a higher share of employees reported feeling burnout during the pandemic. In February 2021, almost 60 percent of Millennials who were in employment had feelings of burnout, up from 53 percent in January 2020. Higher levels of burnout were reported across all age groups for this examined period.

The global burnout issue

Burnout is not just an issue within the U.S. population. A survey conducted across Europe in 2021 found that 66 percent of people in Poland, as well as 66 percent of Russians, felt they were on the verge of burnout. Moreover, 60 percent of respondents in Serbia reported feeling the same. High levels of burnout were also reported in Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
