higher levels of income are associated with higher levels of satisfaction O-HL-u-sq-v-4-a OLRC = +.14 ns second step(compared to first step) O-HL-u-sq-v-4-a OLRC = +.34 p < .01 third step (compared to first step) O-HL-u-sq-v-4-a OLRC = +.38 p < .01 fourth step (compared to first step) O-HL-u-sq-v-4-a OLRC = +.52 p < .01 fifth step (compared to first step) O-HL-u-sq-v-4-a OLRC = +.50 p < .01 fifth step (compared to first step) O-HL-u-sq-v-4-a OLRC = +.39 p < .05 seventh step (compared to first step) O-HL-u-sq-v-4-a OLRC = +.43 p < .01 eight step (compared to first step)

OLRC's are controled for:
- year dummies
- gender
- age
- marital status
- number of childeren
- education level
- type of employment
- health status
- importance of life domains
- political orientations and trust

OLRC's cannot be interpreted as absolute effect sizes. Relative values denote that a higher income goes with more happiness. Comparison is only possible across associations with the same happiness measure.
