Dream Jobs

84% of respondents to a national survey have indicated that, surprise, they don't have the job of their dreams. And what would a dream job consist of? Having fun beats making a difference in society by more than two to one. Cops and firefighters were the happiest with their jobs. "Accomodation and food services" tied "manufacturing" for least dreamy jobs. Where do these dream jobs live?

Among major U.S. cities, workers in Boston had the highest incidence of feeling they have their dream jobs, at 37 percent, followed by Sacramento at 26 percent, San Francisco at 23 percent, Philadelphia at 22 percent, Salt Lake City at 20 percent, and Dallas and Portland, both at 19 percent.

Cities with the least number of workers in dream jobs were San Diego at 7 percent, Phoenix and Detroit at 10 percent and Atlanta and Miami at 11 percent.

I'm shocked that "blogger" didn't come up in this. Maybe if we actually got paid for this . . . .
