A comparison was made between the response to the online\r\n survey in 2006 and 2010. The analysis of survey results focused on two \r\nquestions: how satisfied are you with your job and with your \r\nwage? Regarding job satisfaction the happy number increased by a good 5 \r\npercent to 45 percent on average. This can be seen as a sign that people\r\n who are still with jobs cherish them more, given the steep rise in \r\nunemployment over the past few years. They simply count their \r\nblessings. By contrast the crisis does not seem to influence \r\nsatisfaction with wage levels yet. More than half of respondents, both \r\nin 2006 and 2010, said to be (very) unhappy with their wages, men and \r\nwomen alike. Having children yes or no, did not change this score on \r\nwage satisfaction significantly. The wage happiness figures remained \r\nsteady over the past 5 years. See the full report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>REPORT-1  \u003C\u002Fstrong>(pdf, downloadable)\u003Cstrong>\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwageindicator.org\u002Fmedia\u002Fdocuments\u002Fsatisfaction_life_berbarometer_wageindicator-c91a319a29a1.pdf\">Download\u003C\u002Fa> According to the \r\nHungarian BerBarométer\u002FWageIndicator database.

People filling the questionnaire could evaluate their \r\nsatisfaction with life in a scale from 1 to 10, where the score 1 means \r\nthat the answerer is not at all satisfied, meanwhile the score 10 means \r\nthat he or she is totally satisfied with the life. So, we can consider \r\n(mostly) satisfied with the life those who vote with score from 6 to 10,\r\n meanwhile those who give score from 1 to 5 can be considered not or \r\nless satisfied with their life. The questionnaire in the five years has \r\nbeen filled by 2250 women and 1870 men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>REPORT-2  \u003C\u002Fstrong>(pdf, downloadable)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwageindicator.org\u002Fmedia\u002Fdocuments\u002Fsatisfaction_with_wage_and_job_hungary_wageindicator-5eadfb09d890.pdf\">Download\u003C\u002Fa> \r\nAccording to the Hungarian BerBarométer\u002FWageIndicator database. \r\nBudapest, Hungary: Marmol Research Budapest (EN)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003Cstrong>Summary\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003Cbr\u002F>SZGTI\r\n (Trade Union Institute of Economic and Social Research, Hungary) within\r\n its BérBarométer project (EQUAL H005) based on the WageIndicator system\r\n gathers since 2006 the on-line data on labour market, employment (\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.berbarometer.hu\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">www.berbarometer.hu\u003C\u002Fa>).\r\n The on-line questionnaire – among a lot of other topics - asks about \r\nsatisfaction with wage and job. People filling the questionnaire could \r\nevaluate their happiness with wage and job voting to “Very satisfied”, \r\n“Satisfied”, “Averagely satisfied”, “Dissatisfied” and “Very \r\ndissatisfied”.
