Study: Employee loyalty, morale down

CINCINNATI - A new study shows that employee loyalty is at its lowest in three years, but their bosses may be clueless to how their employees really feel.

Four in 10 people say a heavy workload, long hours and unrealistic expectations on the job are all creating too much stress, according to a study out Tuesday by the American Psychological Association .

A survey by Metlife found that one in three people hope to change jobs in the next year.

To prevent a mass exodus, researchers predict companies will increase merit-based raises this year.
