Euro poll: Majority of Czech satisfied, more than EU average

A poll by the Eurobarometer agency suggested on Monday that most Czechs don’t think their voice is heard in the European Union. According to the poll, 82 percent of Czechs are generally satisfied with their lives, which is five percent more than the EU average. Some 39 percent of Czechs are concerned about health care, while 38 percent about inflation and rising prices of goods. Fifty-three percent of Czechs also favour the adoption of euro in the country. While satisfaction of Czechs with their lives has been stable in the last three years, the number of people who consider unemployment a serious problem dropped from 54 percent in 2004 to the current 12.
