The article presents the nationwide survey conducted by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) in the U.S. concerning the challenges that confront legislative staff in the country. Among the issues are conflicting work hours with family time and the retirement of the so called baby boomer employees. The other reasons why legislative staff are seeking to leave their jobs include public cynicism and distrust of government.
