Thread: Australians happiest

Whenever I speak to our friends on Skype I ask them how they are and I must admit I await the reply with some trepidation but invariably they are fine, I guess I just expect them to be pulling their hair out worrying about where the next bread and dripping sandwich is going to come from but no they are fine.
It's unfortunate Aldo that both countries seem to have been stuffed up the figures which is very disappointing.

Yep, a few try and fight ,it a few missed the boat !, but the vast majority that come to Oz echoe those sentiments John, we dont need outragous storys to convince our selves how well off we are in the lucky country,

On the list of top 10 nations were Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, Norway, Denmark, the United States, Switzerland, Netherlands and Luxembourg.
When asked as to what is it that was making the Australians so happy even when there were troubles, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said that while the world sees a high level of economic well being, it is tough for the nationals as the cost of living is pretty high.
As per the index prepared by OECD, some 75 per cent of Australians were satisfied with their lives and it was much above the OECD average of 59 per cent

Torture numbers, and they'll confess to anything.
