When you think of what factors influence your happiness at work, what comes to mind? Likely it’s pay, job opportunities, vacation days and more. We gathered a few of them together and compared New England (largely Boston)’s results to New York. It turns out that, if you’re keeping a career score, New England’s a clear winner.

“Boston hosts more growing industries than New York, like scientific research, biotech and information technology. While New York is showing some recovery from the recession, it isn’t as swift at Boston’s,” says lead analyst at PayScale, Katie Bardaro.
