Museum Workers' Satisfaction
A recent report by Museums Moving Forward found that workers at smaller museums tend to be more satisfied than their counterparts at larger institutions.
The report, which surveyed museum staff across the US, highlighted persistent issues such as low pay, inequity, and burnout. However, it also noted slight improvements in career satisfaction since the previous report.
Creating “a more just museum sector” by 2030
is the vision of Museums Moving Forward, which launched in 2023. The organization aims to collect data on workplace culture and promote positive change in the museum sector.
- Low pay and burnout remain significant concerns
- Inequity is still entrenched in the sector
- Unionized institutions show improved working conditions
The report's findings suggest that while there is still much work to be done, there are some positive trends emerging in the museum sector.
Author's summary: Museum workers' satisfaction varies by institution size.
