Jacksonville scaled low on other quality-of-work-and-life surveys, such as No. 114 of 200 on the Best Cities for Business and Careers and No. 44 of 50 on the Best Cities For Working Mothers lists.

Military bases also play a part in the overall happiness of a city, as cities like El Paso, home to Fort Bliss, tend to be happier in terms of job security.
