The streak continues, with Finland notching yet another year atop the UN-sponsored World Happiness Report. Finland managed to nail an average life evaluation of 7.736 out of 10, up by almost 5% since 2012 and smoking their Nordic rivals in the rankings much like Finland’s nationally beloved smoked fish.

One more data point in a long list of people, occupations, and companies damaged by Trump, although this is the most spectacular I've seen,
I welcome the damage. It will accelerate the loss of control by the Republicans. They will lose the 2026 midterms spectacularly. Maybe the Republicans will wake up to the need to neuter him.
Meanwhile, Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans will suffer needlessly. Maybe Tesla will die if that's any consolation.

Sometimes we dream about picking up and living in some other country, but we speak only English fluently, Canada seems mad at us right now, and Australia is too far from our family. Turns out, we’re not alone in perusing job listings across the pond: the number of Americans looking for “jobs in the UK” is surging.

As the economic outlook grows a little bleaker, some US workers are seeking greener pastures in Britain....

More Americans are on the lookout for jobs in the UK

What’s Finland's secret, you ask? Well, the countries that do well when their citizens appraise their own happiness tend to have high levels of human development — long life expectancy, good schools, solid income per capita — so that the baseline experience of their citizens comes in at pretty good, even if the country whose core contribution to the global economy is Nokia and ain’t exactly the flywheel of the European economy.

For the eighth year in a row, Finland tops the “happiness” league tables — but that doesn’t mean its citizens are feeling the joy....

Finland has been named the world’s happiest country, again, but does the Happiness Report really measure the right things?

Don’t get too cocky: the US also fell 24 places down the charts when comparing our pretty solid World Happiness rank to our mediocre Gallup Global Emotions rank.

What makes a country happy? Every year, the United Nations, the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre, and Gallup produce the World Happiness Report...
