Oracle hires former HP's Hurd 

Princeton University's economist Angus Deaton and Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman reviewed surveys of 450,000 Americans conducted in 2008 and 2009 for the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index that included questions on people's day-to-day happiness and their overall life satisfaction, Reuters reported. They found that happiness improved as income rose but the effect leveled out once people's incomes reached around $75,000. On the other hand, peoples overall sense of success and well-being continued to rise as their earnings grew beyond that point.

路透社报道，普林斯顿大学的经济学家安格斯·狄顿和诺贝尔奖得主丹尼尔·卡纳曼评估2008年和2009年盖洛普-好斯韦思幸福指数对45万美国人所做的调查，调查包含的问题有针对日常幸福感的，也有针对总的生活满足感的。他们发现幸福感随着收入的增长而加强，但是当收入达到7.5万美元时，这种效果就呈水平方向发展了。另一方面，收入超过这点后，人们的总体成功感或满足感会随着收入的提高而增强。
