According to the civic group Workplace Bullying 119 on the 5th, a survey of 1,000 office workers showed an average score of 41.1 points. The distribution of scores was 20 points or below (35.2%), 41?60 points (24.9%), and 61?80 points (18.5%).

By respondent category, women (38.1 points) gave lower scores than men (43.3 points), and workers at businesses with fewer than 30 employees (40.5 points) rated lower than those at businesses with 300 or more employees (47.5 points). Compared to the first quarter of last year, the average score dropped by 1.7 points from 42.8, and the percentage of respondents giving 20 points or below increased by 7.9 percentage points.

Workplace Bullying 119 stated, "The Yoon Suk-yeol administration's labor and employment policies have received failing grades for two consecutive years," adding, "Given the administration's policies during its term that left discrimination against workers at businesses with fewer than five employees unchanged while attempting to increase working hours, it is not surprising that office workers gave an F grade."

This survey was commissioned by Workplace Bullying 119 to the public opinion research firm Global Research and conducted from February 2 to 13, targeting 1,000 office workers nationwide aged 19 and older. The sampling error is ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
