Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic November 10, 2011 Share November 10, 2011 Just wonder, who did they survey ...... CNA news : Singapore workers happier than two years ago: survey SINGAPORE: Singapore workers are happier than they were compared to previous years. The overall average Work Happiness Indicator score was 57.4 out of 100, the highest since the survey was started two years ago. Singapore workers scored 55.5 in the 2010 survey and 56.4 in the 2009 survey Nearly 2,400 people (2,385) took part in the survey from August to September this year by JobsCentral, an online jobs portal. Sixty per cent of respondents also indicated they are satisfied with their current job. Advancement opportunities, reasonable work demands and salary were the top three most important work attributes for happiness. But the same three attributes were also rated poorly in terms of satisfaction level. The happiest group of workers, according to gross monthly salary, were those who earn between S$8,000 and S$9,000 per month. This group scored 67 points, much higher than the overall average of 57.4. Those who earn more than S$10,000 per month (the highest salaried group in the survey), scored 58 points. The unhappiest workers according to the survey were those who earn between S$6,000 and S$7,000 per month (55 points). - AFP/fa I will be happy also if I earn $8000/- to $9000/- a month. But what is the percentage of Singaprean earning that amount of money... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually $4K+ gross consider not a lot, if you have a car and many commitments. Cause you must consider CPF deduction lo. Also dont think you will get bonuses and perks every month.
