Results indicated that there is significant difference between life satisfaction and job anxiety of Policeman and Teachers. It clearly shows that Policeman scored lower on life satisfaction than Teachers, but higher on job anxiety because the reason for the low life satisfaction and high job anxiety in the policeman is due to his busy routine, stressful life, lack of socialization, excessive pressure of officers and no proper time for family and other members of society etc., whereas high life satisfaction and low of job anxiety in the teachers is due to systematic routine, happy life, socialization, low pressure of officers and enough time for family and society members.
