THE HAPPIEST JOBS ARE IN THE LEGAL SECTOR

Research conducted by Phoenix Health & Safety has revealed that jobs within the legal sector are the ‘happiest’ with the highest salaries, whilst jobs within sales and marketing are statistically the best for welfare and health and safety.

According to findings, people who work in the legal sector are the happiest with the best pay, with 28% of employees loving their job as well as earning over 39% more than the average UK salary.

Nick Higginson, CEO of Phoenix Health & Safety, further observes: “Legal is not only one of the happiest and highest paying jobs but also the safest. As primarily an office-based role, the number of non-fatal injuries per 100,000 people working in the industry resulted in an average of just 6.9 non-fatal injuries per year. As a total welfare score legal made it into third place which is really impressive and is a testament to the sector's ability to offer most a safe and healthy working environment."
