Unemployment obviously reduceshappiness, but not because of what you may think. It’s not the loss of income, but the loss of things like self-esteem and workplace social life that【B6】______a drop in happiness.

In the US, for example, happiness levelshave remained stagnant while living standards have risen over the past 50 years or so. It’s not hard to conclude that Gross Domestic Product is not the ultimate indicator of happiness.
