通常，最年轻的员工在工作后找不到合适的位置，但人力资源公司Robert Half的一项新研究发现，对大多数员工来说，真正的职业不满在35岁以后才开始。

The report, which examines the influences ofworkplace happiness, found that older workers tend to experience more stress onthe job than their younger colleagues.

Results indicate that 34 per cent of professionalsover 35 found their jobs to be stressful, compared to 25 per cent of employeesages 18-35.

许多因素可能会导致工作时的压力增加，但对年长的专业人士来说，一个共同的特点是努力平衡家庭和职业生活。
