80% of Poles satisfied with their lives

According to a survey by the Central Statistical Office (GUS), eight out of ten Poles aged 16 and over admitted they are happy with their lives and only four percent of the respondents felt unhappy. Poles are mostly satisfied with their relations with others, including friends and colleagues (84 percent), and with their family (77 percent). On the other hand, as many as 32 percent of the respondents said they are unhappy with their earnings. The survey showed that the level of satisfaction is dependent on age, the level of education and place of residence, as the most satisfied are students and pupils (87 percent) and pensioners the least (56 percent).
