French workers are the most likely to say they have a “career” rather than “just a job,” while U.S. workers came in 3rd in the ranking, according to a survey released today by Monster Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: MWW) and market research company GfK.

The survey asked the question, “Do you view the work you do to be a career or just a job?” The following answers were received in the U.S.:
 
•      Just a job: 41%
•      A career: 57%
•      Don’t know: 1%

America’s younger generations are the least likely to be career-minded, with 62% of those aged 18 to 35 stating they consider their employment as just a job rather than being part of a longer term career plan, compared with 28% of those aged 36 to 44 and 31% aged 45 to 54.  

Here’s a list by country of those responding who said they view the work they do as a career rather than just a job:  

1.     France: 70%
2.     Canada: 69%
3.     United States: 57%
4.     UK: 43%
5.     India: 43%
6.     Netherlands: 38%
7.     Germany: 25%

The survey included more than 8,000 people in Canada, France, Germany, India, Netherlands, U.K. and U.S. It included 511 employed in the U.S.
