Really gotta know who they’re paying off to get these tittles each year. We are definitely NOT the happiest country. Unemployment at all time high, poor people keep getting poorer due to our governments decisions. And still someone thinks we are happy?

I think they did not ask the people who are on breadlines or at the unemployment center.

Israel at #8 surprises me, but I guess when America pays for everything what is there to moan about

This is just going to snowball because everytime they win they’ll just get happier and then no one else will ever have a chance ..

Wonder how Putin and Medvedev would comment this.

Hmmm.. Maybe they are happy they don’t have to go to work everyday because their unemployment is at record highs?

Idk this thing comes up every year and has more to do with being content in some ways. Still surprised Finland is at the top of them as someone who used to live there and left because of the economy situation. Great place to study and retire, not a great place for a career atm

This is simply a cultural thing. Some cultures are more prone to complaining than others.
I mean, Israel is #8 and they get bombed every other Tuesday, with terror attacks being common and half the world having ostracized them. Meanwhile, Southern European countries with peace, amazing climate and international PR are very low on the list.

A lot of (northern) European countries in the top ten.
Pretty good for a pitied declining continent /s

For the Fins the bar is really low for happiness, so its easy to be happy

And they share their border with Russia. Damn, talk about positive attitude.

The rest of you must be goddamn miserable then

While sharing 1340km of borders with Russia it’s encouraging.

Probably people in the rest of the world are, on the whole, unhappier than the Finns.
Looking at the news on this sub, I’ve only ever seen two types of stories about Finland: that its economic situation is worse than it was in 2019, and that yet another round of military exercises has taken place there.
Likely any more positive news about Finland either gets censored or simply loses out to negative coverage in the media.

WHR is trash.
It reviews a 1000 randomly from each country, and then interpolates that for the entire populace of millions.

Personally I find it hard to be happy when I’m unemployed.

Imagine, entirety of Finland is in an economic gutter, where we are approaching Greece levels of mismanaged finances. There are no jobs. There is an aggressive neighbor on the border. And the world is going to shit.
But atleast we are not you guys. You poor sods. It’s going to get so much worse from here on out, but Finland will endure.

Beating the Swedes 9 times in a row is what makes the Finns happy!
I’ve read that Finland has an unemployment rate on the higher end of the scale within the EU. Strange that this doesn’t influence happiness negatively.
