During global economic gloom, the world is a happier place than it was before the financial crisis began. That is the counterintuitive conclusion of a poll of 19,00 adults in 24 contries. Some 77% of respondents now  describe themselves as happy, up three points on 2007 , the last year before the crisis. Since whenever 3/4 people agree on anything, "you need to pay attention to intensity in the results." But I feel earning money is more difficult during global economic crisis.
