6. I wonder how this compares to general unhappiness, eg. at home or after work

52% unhappy at work but, per Harris, 67% are unhappy in general.

Two thirds of Americans say they're unhappy - with Hispanics, college grads and the disabled being the most discontented of all, survey says
...
Americans earning under $50,000 in annual salary are less likely to qualify as very happy than in 2011 - down from 33 per cent to 29 per cent among those earning less than $35,000, and from 35 per cent to 32 per cent among those earning between $35,000-$49,999.

Old age is rarely associated with joy or exuberance, but poll results show that those over the age of 50 are more likely to be happy than their younger counterparts.
