Yes, I think a lot of that is attributed to not having a sense of purpose. Philanthropy is a good cure in that situation.
I believe the media's interpretation is that over $70,000 people cease to become happier, which is obviously false. Of course managers are trying to use that as a reason to stop paying people more.
Anyway, if you make more than $70K now, and you suddenly were reverted to making $70K, you wouldn't retain the same level of happiness (obviously), unless you were already wealthy. It makes for an juicy headline though.
