Where Do America's Happiest People Work?

Career isn't the only factor in determining someone's overall happiness, but it's certainly a major contributor.

So, what kind of jobs do the happiest people in the U.S. have? And, what about these jobs contributes to overall happiness in life?

A University of Chicago study, "Job Satisfaction in the United States," offers some insight. The study says the occupations where people report being happy overall, not just in terms of job satisfaction, involve helping others, technical and scientific expertise, or creativity. Here are the top three:

1. Clergy

2. Firefighters

3. Transportation, ticket, and reservation agents such as travel agents. Job Description: Travel agents plan and sell transportation and accommodations for travel agency customers.
Very happy: 56.5%

I'm definately part of the 56.5%! The best part of this job is hearing all the great stories from people who have have waited so long to take their dream vacation and knowing that you were a part of making that happen! The worst part is when you just have to take a cruise or visit a resort to get first hand knowledge to pass on to your customers. ;-)

OH, and by the way we're hiring!

Maria Esther Castillo, 45, of Oswego, N.Y struck a flight attendant on the buttocks with the back of her hand during Saturday's flight, FBI Special Agent Peter Carricato said in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Charlotte. She also stood and fell onto the head of a blind passenger and later started pulling the person's hair, the complaint stated.
