Covid-19 Job Stress – Is It Time To Reassess Your Career?
In these crazy coronavirus times, working safely and productively for a big company or for someone else isn't always easy. Maybe any extra downtime you find on your hands should be spent re-evaluating your current career with the idea of working for yourself.
Sure, there are trade offs, but what price happiness?
A new study from the Institute for Fiscal Studies finds self-employed people may earn less money, but they’re happier doing it!
The data shows that self-employed people have higher levels of well-being than those who are not self-employed, including feelings of job satisfaction. Self-employed people were also found to have higher life satisfaction, and lower levels of distress.
