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:

Editorial/Translation - 54.2
Merchandising/Purchasing - 54.8
Administrative - 57.7
Finance - 57.9
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.

First launched in 2009, the JobsCentral Work Happiness Indicator is a study to measure how happy Singapore workers are with their jobs. The 2012 survey has 3,299 respondents and data was collected via an online questionnaire between 20th September and 19th October, 2012.

The survey was voluntary and open to all Singapore workers aged 16 years and above. Incomplete and duplicated responses were discarded and do not contribute to this count.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
