According to the Workforce Boredom Index, also bored with their jobs are manufacturing and sales employees, ranked second and third on the index. Teachers and healthcare workers were the least bored at work.
The survey of more than 2,000 graduates aged 21 to 45 found more than half were regularly bored at work.
When asked why they found their job interesting, 81 percent of teachers questioned said it was the challenge of the role and the same proportion said it was because "no two days were the same."
Employees surveyed said they were mainly bored because of the lack of challenge in their jobs (61 percent). Half of those employees who said they were bored had considered changing profession in the past year.
