研究：少年越快乐 成年收入越高
研究显示，少年时期越快乐，成年后收入越高。
科研人员对1万名美国少年进行长达10年的追踪调查后发现，少年时期较不快乐的人，29岁时的收入比平均少百分之30；少年时较快乐的人，29岁时的收入则比平均高出百分之10。
参与调查的青少年必须在16、18和22岁时，完成问卷调查，评估他们对生活的满意度。研究人员排除了性别、智商、健康情况、身高等因素后发现，收入多寡与年轻时的快乐程度有关。即使是来自同一个家庭的兄弟姐妹，较快乐的人，收入也会更高。
研究人员认为，一个人快乐时，顾虑就比较少，注意力也比较集中，因此，能更专注地为事业打拼。

S'pore workers can expect 3% salary rise next year: survey
S'pore workers can expect 3% salary rise next year: survey

SINGAPORE: Employees in Singapore can expect salary increases of three per cent next year. That is up from this year's two per cent, said outplacement firm, ECA International.
Its latest Salary Trends Survey said within the region, salary increases remain highest in China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Pay rises will be lowest in Japan.
ECA International's regional director for Asia, Lee Quane, said Singapore's forecast pay increases, like Hong Kong and Taiwan's, are lower than the regional average.
This is due to the fact that these are developed economies with low inflation rates.
The survey found that salary increases within the region are predicted to average at five per cent in 2010, almost twice as high as this year.
Mr Quane said these forecasts are an indicator that companies operating within the region are much more confident about economic conditions than a year ago.
They suggest that many employers are actively making up for the fact that employees typically experienced little or no salary increase this year.

Survey shows Singapore in bottom 10 of salary rise rankings
Survey shows Singapore in bottom 10 of salary rise rankings
By Mok Fei Fei, Channel NewsAsia
SINGAPORE: Employees in Singapore will see some of the lowest pay rises this year compared to their counterparts in other places.
A survey of 53 jurisdictions by London-based research company ECA International has placed Singapore in the bottom 10 of the salary rise rankings.
Singapore was in joint 43rd spot, along with France and Hong Kong.
Salaries in these three places are expected to increase by two per cent this year.
Japan was the lowest-ranked, with half of the companies in the economy planning to freeze salaries.
A quarter of the world's companies, and 40 per cent of those in the US, plan to freeze salaries this year.
But there are bright spots in other parts of the world.
Employees in Venezuela, Argentina and India can look forward to the most robust double-digit pay rises.
Globally, average salaries are likely to increase 4.7 per cent this year, down from a 6.2 per cent rise in 2008.
