Le Figaro (France):
Le bonheur au travail commence avec un bon salaire/Happiness at work starts with a good salary
30 May 2018
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 cannot 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.
