Multiple studies have shown that the level of trust and confidence that Americans have in organizations, particularly businesses, has been declining in recent years. A 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer survey found that only 54% of Americans trust businesses to do what is right, down from 58% in 2020. In addition, a 2020 Gallup poll found that only 38% of Americans have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in big business, down from 41% in 2019 and significantly lower than the 53% reported in 2003.
Furthermore, job loyalty has been declining in recent years, with many Americans more willing to switch jobs than in the past. A 2018 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the median number of years that wage and salary workers had been with their current employer was 4.1 years, down from 4.6 years in 2014.
Overall, there is evidence to suggest that Americans' confidence in and loyalty toward organizations, particularly businesses, has been decreasing in recent years.
