Financial crisis hits happiness levels

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-24822394


Life satisfaction in many countries has fallen in the wake of the financial crisis

Countries worst hit by the global financial crisis saw their happiness levels fall as a result, a survey has suggested.

According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), levels of "life satisfaction" fell sharply between 2007 and 2012 in countries like Greece and Spain.

Trust in governments also deteriorated over that time.

The OECD said the findings showed the far-reaching impact of the crisis.
