The Happiest Job in the World. Can you Guess?

12.08.2023 by Fred Berman //

Wrong!  The answer is Construction Worker.  Research has determined construction workers are the happiest of any industry.

“A human resources software company has found that construction workers are the happiest in the world, citing rising wages and a high demand for work as the primary reasons why. BambooHR’s research includes data from over 57,000 employees at more than 1,600 companies around the globe, specifically tracking happiness between January 2020 and June 2023.”

What about the excitement?  You fire a nail gun into the wall and miss the stud.  It sails through dry wall transforming into a screaming missile of destruction with you not knowing in what or WHO it might hit.  An iron worker walking a beam 47 stories above Manhattan and drops an M100 bolt with a diameter of about 4″.  Can you calculate its velocity by the time it hits the ground…or your foreman?  You walk by the giant crane operator and inhale the distinct smell of alcohol creating an aura of excitement you can’t feel in any other profession.

Construction Worker: Modern Day Super Hero!!
