San Francisco's Young Professionals Are Happy, But Not That Happy, Says Internet List

In a recent bit of linkbait study from Forbes.com, San Francisco was named among the Top 20 Cities in America with the Happiest Young Professionals. In the study, which was conducted by job happiness website CareerBliss.com, young professionals around the country, "were asked to rate eight factors that affect workplace happiness", which were then averaged in to one happiness score for each city.

It's all very scientific, obviously, which is why the hivemind of Microsoft drones made Redmond, Washington the #1 place for Young Professionals while San Francisco flops around at #14. But we needn't worry about San Francisco's talented young workforce leaving for the great white hype to the North just yet: Seattle proper is not a happy place for young professionals, apparently - it didn't even make the list.
