The centres poll, however, also revealed that a meagre 14 per cent of Burgenland residents said the same.The researchers further found that few residents of Vienna (23 per cent) were happy with their work-life balance, while significantly more of the people living in Tyrol (47 per cent) were.These findings come shortly after personnel consulting firm Aon Hewitt said, it expected Austrian firms to pay their staff an average three per cent higher incomes this year than in 2010.
