Map reveals city with the UK’s BEST quality of life with happy residents & affordable housing – where does yours rank?
A MAP has revealed the UK cities where workers can find the best work-life balance.
One place has come out on top, achieving the highest scores for overall quality of living.
The Totaljobs Quality of Living Index revealed Edinburgh had taken the top spot in terms of overall quality.
The survey found that the Scottish city offered access to affordable housing, best commute times and higher rates of happiness.
Plymouth and Glasgow took second and third spots, with London only just making the top 10.
The survey found that cost of living was a big factor in people’s desire to relocate.
Over 70% of Londoners said they would be open to relocating given the high living costs.
Work related factors that would drive people to move included a higher salary or pay rise.
The research found that 18-34 year olds had a high level of dissatisfaction and that 75% are considering relocation.
Julius Probst, European labour market Economist at Totaljobs said: “Rising living costs are forcing workers to consider just how, and where, they can get the most out of their pay slip.
“This financial pressure, combined with the broader cultural shifts brought on by Covid-19, is resulting in more workers relocating to get the best work-life balance.
“After all, loving where you work is becoming just as important and enjoying what you do for work.”
This comes after the UK’s happiest place to live was revealed.
Britain’s unhappiest regions were also ranked.
