Love is in the air this month and those positive feelings extend to the workplace for many Canadians. A new survey shows that half (53 per cent) of working Canadians love their current jobs. But nearly six in ten (58 per cent) cite better compensation and benefits as a means to increase the affection for their job. Better work/life balance and more opportunities to learn/develop rounded out the top three attraction drivers that Canadians were looking for in a potential employer. Some findings from the survey by Workopolis:

• Reasons to stay: 16 per cent of Canadians continue to stay in their current position because it pays the bills, while 14 per cent are afraid to make a change
• The older you get the more you love your job: Canadians aged 35-44 are more likely to love their job than those aged 25-34.
• The laws of attraction: Quebeckers have the strongest feelings about compensation and benefits, while those in the Prairies would prefer a better work/life balance.
