Are you happy in your work?

When it comes to happiness at work, hairdressers are a cut above the rest - according to this year's City & Guilds' 'Happiness Index.' On the other hand, secretaries/PAs/admin workers like their jobs the least. And if you live in Newcastle, you're certainly smiling: 19 per cent of people there gave their jobs top marks.

The saying 'Money can't buy you happiness' certainly seems true. Almost a third of people in the £10 - £15k bracket rated their job 10/10, while less than 5 per cent of workers earning £40 - £45k gave their jobs a 10.

Chris Humphries, director general of City & Guilds, comments, "It may come as a surprise to some that financial reward doesn't always mean a happier working environment or employee."

So what factors do make us whistle while we work? 19 per cent of us would like to do something worthwhile and almost 15 per cent just want a more flexible workday. Humphries found, "Some of the happiest workers are those who feel they have a lot of opportunities for professional development."

Here, then, are the UK's 20 happiest jobs to work in, according to City & Guilds:
