According to the results of the "Life Satisfaction Index" methodology, the respondents were divided into three groups depending on the level of life satisfaction: a group with a low, medium and high level accordingly. The article presents an analysis of a survey of the residents by groups about the most positive and negative aspects of their profession. Next, based on the correlation analysis, the interrelationships of life satisfaction components with the attributes of subjectivity and life hardiness characteristics were revealed.
