The grass is always greener…
But you’ll often find happiness in your own back yard.
That’s according to a new study by world’s leading job site Indeed, which found that Irish workers are the fourth happiest in the world and the happiest in the European Union.
The Indeed Job Happiness Index 2016 reviewed 35 countries and found Columbia ranked top for job happiness and China ranked the lowest.
However, in a city-by-city study, Dublin came top in Europe, beating off competition from London, Stockholm and Rome who fell into 2nd, 3rd and 4th places respectively.
The top ranking jobs for happiness were found to be:
Carpenters
Builders
Secretaries
Childcare assistants
The results were measured on five different elements of job happiness – work-life balance, quality of management, office culture, job security & advancement and compensation & benefits.
