Happy countries

Canada has dropped to 15th from 6th in the list of happiest countries in the world and the US didnt make the top 20 (last year it had been 15th). Both countries have dropped while Finland took top prize yet again.

Increased cost of housing, increased poverty no doubt played a huge role in this decline not to mention disappearing safety nets and job certainty. In the US there are lots of low and medium wage jobs which don't keep up with rising costs of living.

I felt this decrease happen before the list came out and now it is confirmed.

The top 10:

• Finland

• Denmark

• Iceland

• Sweden

• Israel

• Netherlands

• Norway

• Luxembourg

• Switzerland

• Australia
