Want a successful marriage? Make sure you and your spouse are happy. Lois Collins of Deseret News National reported that when spouses, especially wives, are happier, the marriage lasts longer.
Part of finding happiness is finding the right job thatll make you feel fulfilled every day you step into the office. To help you find that happy job, CareerBliss just released its 2015 list of happiest jobs.
To create this list, the online jobs site compiled data from more than 25,000 website users over the last two years. The users were asked on a scale of one to five to define how they felt about who they work for, what type of work they do, the support they receive on the job, the rewards they get, the growth opportunities they have, the company culture and how they handle their daily tasks, according to USA Today.
CareerBliss didnt put some high-profile positions on the list like star athletes, musicians and CEOs. This list, according to Fortune, is to evaluate middle-market positions, or ones that are easily attainable by the middle class.
