“What is so unique about CareerBliss is that we can evaluate not only what jobs are making a comeback, but also what trends are impacting overall happiness in the workplace,” Heidi Golledge, CEO and co-founder of CareerBliss, said. “Real estate agents have definitely weathered quite a financial storm over the past few years, but, right now, rates are between 2 to 3 percent and inventory is low, making it a real estate agent’s dream as new homes hit the market and are getting multiple offers in the first week. Realtors say that the way they work, and the rewards they are seeing with a growing market has helped boost overall happiness for those in this career.”
