Glassdoor asked people to rate their work-life balance from one to five and since 2009, the average rating has gone down from 3.5 to just 3.2 so far this year.
Not everyone is walking a tightrope between work and play though, and Glassdoor- which lets past and present employees rate their jobs - has compiled a list of job titles where employees are happiest with the balance between their normal lives and their work.
There are a lot of very different jobs on the list, so if you're stuck at the office all the time and are looking for a little bit more balance, check out the 20 jobs with the best work-life balance.
