Analysis of data from the 2002 National Study of the Changing Workforce shows that "among older workers, the odds of being very satisfied with life are 187.8% higher for those in good or excellent health than for those poor or fair health; 146.5% higher for those living with spouses or partners than for those in other living arrangements; and 105.1% higher for those with extra money to save or invest after monthly expenses than for those without such additional funds." (p. 6)
