Apparently most of us are content with the salary we receive. In this survey, 81% of the respondents indicate they are either Satisfied or Very Satisfied with their compensation. Only 1% are Very Dissatisfied. However, the amount of income from which we derive our satisfaction varies widely. The average for the Very Satisfied is a sizeable $88,784 while the range is from $30 ,000 to $175,000. Those respondents less than satisfied average about $25,000-30,000 less than the very satisfied.

Money isn't everything, so we asked how happy people are with the non-monetary aspects of their jobs. Apparently, most of us are happy campers with 85% responding they are Satisfied or Very Satisfied.
