Poll: Acts of Contrition Mean More Cash
The study for the Pearl Outlet found that those earning more than $100,000 a year are twice as likely to apologize after an argument with their significant other than those pulling in less than $25,000.
Ninety-two percent of those earning more than
$100,000 would apologize when they felt they were
completely to blame, compared to 89% of $75,000-$100,000
earners, 84% of $50,000-$75,000 folks, 72% of
$35,000-$50,000 earners, 76% for $25,000-$35,000 workers
and just 52% of those earning under $25,000.
Even when they felt they were blameless, 22% of the
highest earners would say they were sorry, compared to
just 13% of the lowest earners.
Zogby International conducted the poll with 7,590
adults online.
