Was 2015 the year of the happy hardware store?

Could it be that working in hardware stores and home centers is just good for one's overall mood?

CareerBliss recently released their Happiest Retail Employers for 2015, and four out of 10 recognized companies hailed from the home industry.

Though Starbucks took the number one spot, Ace Hardware was in second place, with IKEA in third, Lowe's in sixth and Home Depot in ninth.

Additionally, IKEA and Lowe's were on the list at least two years in a row.

The Happiest Retail Employers list analyzes where retail employees feel the happiest, measuring key factors such as relations with management, compensation, workplace environment, growth opportunities, satisfaction with job role, and the overall setting.
