Gen Z's wary love affair with AI: angry yet hooked

A Gallup poll of nearly 1,600 people aged 14–29 finds Gen Z’s enthusiasm for AI has cooled since last year—only 18% are hopeful and 22% excited, while 31% feel angry and anxiety remains around 40%. Despite this, more than half use AI weekly, and most expect it to be needed for higher education or future careers. Gen Z sees AI as useful but worries about its long‑term effects on learning and career readiness, and many now view workplace AI risks as outweighing benefits.

US Falls to No. 23 in World Happiness Report, Lagging Nordic Countries

The U.S. failed to crack the top 20 in the latest World Happiness Report, ranking No. 23 behind Nordic and Western European nations, with Finland at the top (7.76) and the United States at 6.82 (down 0.27 from last year). Costa Rica is No. 4 and Israel No. 8. The rankings derive from the Gallup World Poll across 147 countries, using a 0–10 life-satisfaction ladder and considering factors like GDP per capita, life expectancy, generosity, freedom, and perceived corruption.

Truman's 22% remains the nadir as Gallup ends presidential approval tracking

Gallup said it will stop publishing presidential approval ratings after almost 90 years, citing a shift in its public-research focus. The lowest rating on record is Harry S. Truman's 22% in February 1952, amid Korea, labor unrest, and government corruption concerns. The piece also notes that Donald Trump, while not the lowest, is the first president to dip below 50% in his first term and during the early part of his second term.

Poll Finds Americans See Politics as the Nation's Top Problem

A Gallup survey of 107 countries from March–October 2025 finds Americans identify politics as the biggest problem facing the United States, while the economy is the top concern in most other nations (median 23%). People under 35 across many countries also point to the economy. In the U.S., political worry splits by party, with Democrats focusing on Trump-era issues and Republicans on distrust and global standing, and Gallup notes that which party voters think would better solve the top problem has historically helped determine the White House.

"Meeting Employee Demands: Research on On-Site Flexibility Options"

A Gallup survey of over 5,700 US workers found that the most commonly offered flexibility options, such as relaxed dress codes and flexible start and end times, were not the ones that employees most valued. Instead, increased paid time off and four-day workweeks were the most desired. While these options can improve employee well-being, engagement with work and strong performance management are also crucial for success. Leaders should involve employees in deciding which flexibility options work best for their team's performance and overall lives.
