Museum Sector Satisfaction Report
A recent report by Museums Moving Forward found that workers at smaller museums are more satisfied than their counterparts at larger institutions.
The report, titled "Report on Workplace Equity and Organizational Culture in US Art Museums", revealed slight improvements in career satisfaction since the inaugural report.
However, issues such as low pay, burnout, and inequity persist, with little change except at institutions where workers have formed unions.
