The ADP Canada monthly Happiness@Work Index (“Index”) reveals that workers in Canada are feeling happier in June. Close to two-thirds (63%) are planning to take vacation this summer, however, over a third (34%) report having to scale back their plans to more cost-sensitive options, with younger generations even considering postponing their summer vacation amidst the rising costs of living.

The National Work Happiness Score for June 2024 is 6.7/10, representing a 0.1-point increase from May.
