Yes, and I am asking how exactly are you using that source? In other words, does the fact that the USA is placed 14th on that list mean that living in Texas and Connecticut offer you the same level of happiness? Does that souce confirm that life in every single part of USA is worse than any part of Europe? Who conducted that research and how reliable are their findings? Would Americans who would say that they are unhappy in the USA be happier in a European country that has a better happiness level?
Most importantly: "several European countries are above USA in every sense that it matters to a citizien, from social servers to level of happiness" What does the bolded exactly mean and does the source that you provided cover that? |
It has graphs and rankings for GDP per capita, social support, health life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity and trust (in politicians) which is the most comprehensive list of happiness measurement in a specific Country that I know of.
The data is taken via Gallup's World poll and is used by the UN. Unless you know of an alternative or better methodology, this is the best way of determining the happiness level of the average citizen in one Country versus another.
It's all in the link, and as I said, it's referenced so you could have just had a quick read.
