SMILEY LAWYERS

Lawyers are happy, according to a recent survey by recruitment consultancy Badenoch & Clark

Stressed City lawyers who regularly work until the sun rises and impoverished legal aid solicitors may beg to differ, but a questionnaire of 1,000 workers across nine sectors shows life isn’t bad at all for the legal profession. The survey finds two-thirds of lawyers are “very happy” in their jobs, and female lawyers in Bristol are the happiest of all. Telecoms and IT workers, on the other hand, are the most fed up, and 24% of the UK workforce say they are unhappy in their jobs.
