Eurostat has released statistics regarding job satisfaction in EU Member States, surveying people on multiple educational levels and by gender. Hungary managed to earn a prestigious place in the ranking, showing that people are quite satisfied with their jobs here.

Job satisfaction was the highest in Cyprus, followed by Romania and Finland (7.9 points on a scale of 10). Hungary ranked fifth, with job satisfaction standing at 7.8 points. People were least satisfied with their jobs in Bulgaria (6.2), followed by Greece (6.8) and France (7.1). The EU average is 7.4 points.

In Hungary, those with less than primary, primary and lower secondary education, or upper secondary and post-secondary non-tertiary education were somewhat less satisfied (7.3 and 7.7 points) with their jobs than those with tertiary education (8.0 points).

In terms of males and females, men were just a little ahead of women in terms of job satisfaction (7.8 points on all education levels compared to 7.7 points).

The European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) collects timely and comparable multidimensional microdata on income, poverty, social exclusion, and living conditions.

The EU-SILC collection is a key instrument for providing information required by the European Semester and the European Pillar of Social Rights, and the main source of data for microsimulation purposes and flash estimates of income distribution and poverty rates.

Hungary Today

Launched online long after XpatLoop.com, this 'government-related' source states its aim is "to provide a complete, unbiased picture of Hungary”. However the site also says that this “does not necessarily mean that our writers do not have their own opinions,” which is useful for our readers to keep in mind. Another stated aim expressed is to become “the leading English-language news portal of Hungary”, which is a role that XpatLoop has successfully fulfilled independently for well over two decades. That noted, our team is open to occasionally sharing a useful Hungary Today article - with their permission of course - for the benefit of our readers.
