Recently I've come across a number of articles reporting on what I will refer to as the "bliss" factor for employees, measuring, for example, happiness with their current career path, with the city in which they work, etc. CareerBliss has published a number of bliss lists, evaluating what it considers to be the "key factors" which affect work happiness, including, for example: "one's relationship with their boss and co-workers, their work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation, their daily tasks, and job control over the work that they do on a daily basis" to come up with an overall "bliss rating" or "bliss score." A number of you with careers in the construction industry have reported that you are blissfully happy.
