Abstract
Over the last quarter of a century the UK has not moved up the wellbeing league tables. It remains near the bottom of the top ten industrialised nations. Satisfaction with life has not changed since the 1970s. Job satisfaction has declined over the 1990s. Satisfaction with democracy has gone up. As is true throughout the European Union, UK workers say that compared with five years earlier they are now under much increased stress and pressure at work. When a standard mental stress measure is used to examine employees well-being across 15 nations, the UK is around the middle of the ranking. Keywords: Life satisfaction, job satisfaction, labor, well-being, job security, mental health.
