Happiest cities to live and work revealed

A recent survey has delved into the lives of UK professionals in order to find out where the best place is to live and work.

Of the 2,000 working professionals surveyed by CV-Library, the top 10 were revealed:

1. Brighton (86.4%)
2. Swansea (75%)
3. Glasgow (70.6%)
4. York (66.7%)
5. Lincoln (63.2%)
6. Belfast (62.5%)
7. Edinburgh (62.5%)
8. Birmingham (61.3%)
9. London (61%)
10. Manchester (60%)

Lee Biggins, founder and CEO of CV-Library commented on the recent findings, “At a time where there’s constant negativity in the press, it’s fantastic to see that the majority of Brits still feel happy on a daily basis. The findings got me thinking about an article I read once which really resonated with me: it said that success isn’t the key to happiness, it’s happiness that’s the key to success. I agree that feeling good in ourselves makes it easier to achieve our goals, whether that’s in our personal or professional lives.”

He added, “No-one can be happy all the time, but being able to make the most of the good times and cope effectively when life does get tough is crucial. If you are struggling, it’s important to not only seek professional help or talk to your loved ones, but also to really consider what’s making you unhappy. Make a list and try to think of solutions: maybe it’s time to find a new job, start a new hobby, or even take some time out to think about your goals.”
