SALARY SHOCKER: TOP-PAID WORKERS MORE MISERABLE THAN LOWEST PAID

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Money may make the world go 'round but it isn't making people any happier. A survey by the authors of the new book, "How We Choose To Be Happy" (Putnam), shows that high-paid corporate big shots are slightly more miserable at work than lower-paid pipsqueaks. About 7 percent of folks who make $100,000 or more a year say they're "unhappy" with their jobs, compared to only 6 percent who make less than $30,000 a year. And the other end of the spectrum, only 5 percent of low- paid workers say they're "extremely happy" with their jobs, compared to 7 percent of highly paid employees. Authors Rick Foster and Greg Hicks says the survey suggests that happiness has more to do with personal choices than the amount of money you make.
