Survey shows civil servants happier compared to those in private sector
SINGAPORE : Employees working for the government are happier than
those in the private sector. This is according to an online survey
conducted by JobsCentral, one of Singapore's largest job portals.
Civil servants scored 58.5 on the JobsCentral Work Happiness
Indicator, higher than the average score of 55.9 for employees in the
private sector.
A score of 50 indicates that an employee feels neutral about his
work happiness, and a full score of 100 will mean that he is very
happy.
Chief executive officer of JobsCentral, Lim Der Shing, said the result was not surprising.
He said the civil service in Singapore is well-run and has rather progressive human resource policies in place.
Employees in education/training have emerged as the happiest, followed by those in public relations and consulting.
As for industry, employees in the arts, entertainment and recreation industry are the happiest.

propaganda crap again.
Don;t know why must the ruling party always say thing to make themselves feel good.
Politics is every where but the politics in civil service is much more worse than private sector, so how can employees in civil service feel happier. Bullcrap!
