Humm. I find his assertion that employed people are happier than unemployed people interesting. I wonder if this is because a lot of people live pay check to pay check and the loss of income puts them in a serious bind.
I was laid off last year, and I've been fortunate that I had a good salary and have been able to save a lot. Those few months I was unemployed were the happiest I've been in a decade. I did some traveling and projects around the house I've been wanting to do. In fact I quit claiming unemployment because the required job searches were killing my buzz.
- maxxxxx 8y agoSame here. When I was unemployed for a while the only thing that made me unhappy was the fear of running out of money. If I had a guaranteed income of some level that allows me to survive I would not need a job to be happy.
