"Have you lost your job as a result of the crisis?" If the answer is "yes" then, "So sorry, thank you much for your time." If the answer is "no" then, "Do you have time to answer a few short questions of a survey?" Surveys always say whatever you want them to say. What is minister Dora Gudrun Gudmundsdottir supposed to say? She cannot very well go in and say that the Icelandic people's "happiness" as a nation is at an all time low. If she did she might become one of those unemployed. The people in my neighborhood at least are not so happy. Mind you they are not depressed either. More like content to wait until the next shoe drops. Of course they are hoping it does not land on them. I am sure the survey started off with. “Have you lost your job as a result of the crisis?”
