   Even Americans who are lucky enough to have work in this economy are becoming more unhappy with their jobs, according to a new 

survey that found only 45 percent of Americans are sa3sfied with their work.

    The drop in workers' happiness can be partly blamed on the worst recession since the 1930s, which made it difficult for some people to find challenging and suitable jobs.

  it could make unhappy older workers less inclined to take the 3me to share their knowledge and skills with younger workers
