Le Figaro (France):
The wage remains the no.1 argument to motivate French employees

A study conducted by researchers at Princeton University showed that a higher income increased the level of happiness, but only up to a salary of about $ 75,000 (or just under $ 70,000) a year. And after? After that, it does not move much. Even more. That's why an asset can not have the sole ambition of making a lot of money. This is also shown in a study by the London School of Economics (LSE), led by the British economist Lord Richard Layard. "States must set aside wealth creation to focus on creating well-being," he says, arguing that the well-being of citizens is the value of tomorrow.
