Fortune, March 20th, 2019: The U.S. is the unhappiest it’s ever been
The United States is the unhappiest it’s ever been.
The 2019 World Happiness Report says that Finland remains the happiest country on Earth for the second year in the row, while the U.S. drops to No. 19, its worst ranking ever (it was No. 18 in 2018 and No. 14 in 2017).
The global report on 156 countries released Wednesday placed five Nordic countries in the top 10, with the Netherlands (5), Switzerland (6), New Zealand (7), Canada (9), and Austria (10) filling out the other top spots.
At No.15., even the Brexit-divided United Kingdom ranked higher than the U.S.
