States with happiest/unhappiest employees

I copied this from salary.com. Check it out.

Salary.com's 2005/2006 Job Satisfaction and Retention Survey asked employees if they were likely to leave their job within the next three months. Here's how the workers in the survey ranked in terms of satisfaction (or dissatisfaction).

Dissatisfied employees have cited a variety of reasons for their desire to leave their company, including lack of opportunity for advancement, insufficient benefits, incompatibility with bosses and coworkers, an undesirable commute, and even boredom. The majority, 57%, say that inadequate compensation is the primary reason they want to leave.
On the other hand, the survey shows that workers want to stay at their jobs for reasons such as:

1. Friendly Co-workers
2. Good Managers
3. Desirable Commute

Hmmm.....I guess we can assume Sturgis is pretty happy.
