This poll doesn't say much about how cushy people's live are. You need to do a poll about income. Looking at the poll results, I would group Business, University, Non-profit, and Government respondents as living comfy lives. Of course, there are some people who get paid little by non-profits. The poll also doesn't indicate if the "self-employed" people are just scraping by or are running businesses that give them a nice house.
