Western Massachusetts City Has The Happiest Employees In The State

Hey, Massachusetts residents! Do you love your job? Does it make you happy and fulfilled at the end of the day? Perhaps a better question, especially nowadays, do you even LIKE your job?

If you had to guess, which city in our beloved Bay State do you think would contain the most HAPPY employees? It might not be an easy task especially if you're an unhappy employee. That reason alone may cloud your judgement.

Well, this may intrigue you a little bit. The area in the Commonwealth that is home to the happiest employees happens to be right here in Western Massachusetts, according to Resume.io, the online platform that offers much-needed help for job seekers.

Recently, Resume.io surveyed 3,000 employees from all over the country asking where the happiest workers thrive and what keeps them motivated. They then released a list of the 100 cities with the happiest workforces.

You'll probably have no trouble believing this but only ONE Massachusetts city made an appearance in that list of 100. Before we find out which Massachusetts city made it in, let's look at the top 10.
