WASHINGTON — A national survey shows Americans want to be more creative in their jobs even if that means taking a pay cut.
According to the survey, 27 percent of employees would tell their bosses they’d quit if offered a position that let their creative juices flow.
The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority commissioned the survey, which shows a growing “creativity gap” in the workplace. Seventy-three percent of U.S. workers believe they are creative people, but only 42 percent think their current jobs allow them to be creative.
Researchers also found that nearly a third of us would move so we could be in a more creative community.
