Most everyone is miserable, the only people I can think about who truly show no sign of sadness are the Thenardiers. Jean Valjean has to constantly be on the run from Javert, and Cosette is one of the only lights in his life. Cosette was also a miserable child and Eponine is miserable because of her shattered love. Although these are the main characters and we see that they aren't necessarily "miserable", they do have many grievances in their lives.

The poor people of France are truly who "the miserables" refers to.
