Groundbreaking findings...
English score 7.3 out of 10 on happiness scale - Telegraph
People in England rate their satisfaction with life at an average 7.3 out of 10, Government researchers reported yesterday.
Responses varied according to occupation, with professionals seeming happier than pensioners, unskilled workers and unemployed people. ...Satisfaction rates fell to an average of 6.7 for social group E, which includes casual labourers, state pensioners and unemployed people.
Phil Woolas, the environment minister, said: "These [figures] show that most people are generally satisfied with their lives. But … the most disadvantaged are clearly less satisfied with their circumstances than the rest of the population."
What would we do without the Government spending our money on research?
