Or a roofer or a banker? If so you are probably at the opposite end of the occupational happiness scale.<\/p>\n

But assuming you are in none of these occupations, where are you on the happiness scale?<\/p>\n

The largest survey of opinions, behaviours and demographics in the world is the General Social Survey by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago<\/strong>. Time Magazine<\/em> recently used the survey to map the most to least happiness score for occupations, ages and family status. The results may surprise you.<\/p>\n

Here is what they found \u2013 from the jobs that provide the most happiness to the least. And to provide geographical balance to their list, we have also summarised the UK\u2019s biggest happiness at work survey conducted by City and Guilds, the skills development organisation.<\/p>\n

The results are inevitably different \u2013 (a) because the US research concentrated on general categories (albeit it seems to have missed out some common jobs), and (b) the UK research was focused on the sorts of occupation that City and Guild training courses cover.<\/p>\n
