Economic uncertainty and unemployment concerns might be ruling the airwaves – particularly during this election season – but most Americans haven’t forgotten about the value of a good friend. According to Ipsos survey results released in October, about two-thirds of the American adults (aged 18-64) surveyed would rather have great friends than have a great career.

Indeed, according to a July report from Penn Schoen Berland in partnership with Burson-Marsteller, younger Americans are pessimistic about their opportunities.
