Over a third of Sunderland employees are 'very happy' despite 16% lower wage than national average

Although four in ten UK adults feel that a higher salary would increase their job satisfaction, a new study has revealed that more money does not actually buy happiness in terms of employment.

The research, conducted by online printing specialists Instantprint, compared data on average weekly wages in 32 major UK cities and towns with job satisfaction levels.
