Finland is the world’s happiest country, US drops to all-time low

If you’re happy and you know it, move to Finland.

Gallup released the 2024 World Happiness Report and it turns out young people in the United States and Western Europe are becoming less satisfied with their lives.

The report, which was conducted over a three-year period, surveyed more than 100,000 people in 143 countries who were asked to rate their lives on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best possible life.

Since the mid-2000s, Gallup found that happiness levels have fallen steeply among those aged 15-24 in the US, while young people in Western Europe saw a more gradual decline.

Out of the 143 countries polled, the US ranked 23 overall — an all-time low for the US, falling eight spots — and 62nd for people under the age of 30.

This year is the first since the report first launched 20 years ago that the US didn’t fall in the top 20 happiest countries.
