American job happiness

 Another survey, the CNBC|SurveyMonkey Workplace Happiness Index, provides
 a more nuanced view. While it found a high level of general satisfaction,
 it revealed that only 9% of workers gave their jobs top marks across five
 key measures of happiness (pay, advancement, value, autonomy, and
 meaningfulness), indicating that deep "happiness" may be less widespread
 than general satisfaction. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/curiosity/cnbc-workplace-happiness-index/ )

That explains it.  Most people are just optimistic, but when they dig
deep, many people realize that they are unsatisfied with their jobs.
