abstract: 'Studies looking at patterns of labour market outcomes among lesbian, gay

  and bisexual (LGB) individuals focus mostly on earnings, while

  non-pecuniary outcomes of LGB individuals have remained a relatively

  under-researched area. Using the latest wave of the Workplace Employment

  Relations Study (WERS), this article investigates the job satisfaction

  levels of LGB individuals compared to their heterosexual peers for the

  first time in Britain. The results show significantly lower job

  satisfaction levels only for bisexual men, compared to their

  heterosexual counterparts. Moreover, the findings do not show a direct

  impact of LGB(T)-related workplace policies on job satisfaction levels.'
