Guess who are the unhappiest workers in Singapore

They scored only 54.2 in happiness index.

According to JobsCentral Work Happiness Indicator, workers in the editorial/translation line of work have the lowest Work Happiness score of 54.2 points, making them the least satisfied of all workers by job function.

Here's more from JobsCentral:

The five job functions with most unhappy workers are:

  1. Editorial/Translation - 54.2
  2. Merchandising/Purchasing - 54.8
  3. Administrative - 57.7
  4. Finance - 57.9
  5. Customer Support - 58.9
     

The construction industry scored a credible 61.8 work happiness points this year over 2011’s 53.4 points. This is a remarkable increase of 15.7 percent. On the lower end of the score table sorted by industry, workers in the ‘Wholesale/retail trade’ and ‘Administrative & Support Services’ are the worst-off of the lot with 56.7 and 57.1 points.
