The fact that humor helps in work, more often say older people. Among Chelyabinsk under 25 years of age, this opinion is shared by 43%, and among respondents over 45 years old - already 57%.

The level of income also matters. Among citizens with a salary of 100 thousand rubles, 58% consider the ability to joke a must for success. For those who earn less, the figure is 48%.

The difference between people with different educations is even greater. Among the holders of university diplomas, 64% recognize the benefit of humor, while 50% among graduates of secondary vocational education organizations.

At the same time, 39% of all Chelyabinsk respondents are convinced that a sense of humor in itself does not give any special advantages when building a career.
