Better Life Index: We’re Number 28

The OECD has developed a “Better Life” index, using a variety of measurements: housing, income, community, education, jobs, civic engagement, health, life satisfaction, safety, and work-life balance.   Looking at the members of the OECD, we find that Norway ranks Number 1, followed by Slovenia, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Iceland, Finland, Austria, Denmark, Portugal, and Netherlands. The United States ranks an embarrassingly low 28th.
