What makes tradespeople the happiest workers in the country?
A recent report says tradespeople are among the happiest workers in the country. About one-thousand skilled trade workers took part in the survey. More than 60 per cent them said they believe they have “really accomplished something worthwhile” through their work — and their work gives them a “sense of success and achievement.” Jon Callegher is the report’s director. He says the findings are important, given the amount of time we spend at our jobs and our individual desire for meaning in life. Here he is in conversation with Up North’s Wendy Bird.
