		potatolicious on Sept 12, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 80% of People Quietly Despise Their Lives I have my doubts about this - as a previous poster mentioned, ego is a huge part of it, so my suspicion is that you are going to get a pretty extreme bias when you let people self-report on this. Around me, I do not believe 9 out of 10 people I know are "completely" or "mostly" satisfied with their jobs. The number if substantially less.

"...you are going to get a pretty extreme bias when you let people self-report on this."

How else are you going to find out if someone's happy with their job?
