Method & caveats. Gallup Panel workforce study, employed U.S. adults, ~19,000–24,000 per wave. Asked in Q2 of 2023 and 2024, then every quarter from Q2 2025, so the early points are a year apart. Values read from Gallup's published trend table; the checked-in citation file records fielding dates and Gallup's own one-point discrepancy between its 2025 and 2026 trend tables for the frequent-use cut. Annual figure is the average of the year's waves.
