<p>I suspect the $75k = happiness equation probably has a lot of assumptions and restrictions in it, like cost of living and expenses. Divorces, chronic illness, and employment of course add major stresses. I think the original study you make reference to measured a person's overall satisfaction with their life and/or work, not their day-to-day happiness. (There's another study I saw reported on recently that shows the richer you are, the more alcohol you drink, so it's definitely not a simple…</p>

<p>When it comes to recruiting and employer branding, I'd say offering a living wage is (or should be) just plain human decency. Offering above that lets you be competitive. I'd say Gravity Payments is competing on the idea that everyone who works there is valued much more beyond that baseline level.</p> Sure does Maureen - I guess f…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2015-07-10:502551:Comment:19048232015-07-10T18:17:35.039ZAmy Ala Millerhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/AmyAla

<p>Great article, Amy. I asked a question on Facebook and you can address it here or there -- if you want to.

<p>Great article, Amy. I asked a question on Facebook and you can address it here or there -- if you want to. Your essay shows a willingness to be open about personal issues and that's why I feel free to ask this. <br/><br/>When you saw the problems your mother had raising a family on her own without, I presume, a good education and good job, why did you rush into marriage and children yourself? <br/><br/>I know that it didn't cause you problems -- but it might have. I'd also be curious to know how you became who you are today in spite of that background. No one could tell that you came from a deprived background from speaking to you. For all I knew, you could have been the happy child of two successful lawyers.<br/><br/>Inotherwords, you speak well -- like an educated person -- and have a lively personality. Where did that come from?<br/><br/></p> now about that video...tag:recruitingblogs.com,2015-07-09:502551:Comment:19042562015-07-09T21:44:30.046ZNoel Coccahttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/NoelCocca
