The big issue for Spain is that 57.2% of under-25s are out of work, which means that frustrated youths are leaving in droves.

I think the list is quite biased.

I can get why everyone want to be in Sweden. But what I don't get is the UK is number 2?? Better than Australia or even Canada?? And then Canada beats the US and US beats Australia??

It does not make any sense IMO

the author of this list probably think Finland is part of Sweden

Where is shupa powah India?

Right there at the back with China I suppose

 

[BeyondHeretic]

Luxembourg? Norway? South Korea? Taiwan? GCC nations?

All are above the UK in similar lists from other sources.

lol, that's why I say this list is biased....

 

[BeyondHeretic]

The title reads like the top 10 socially awkward posters

 

[Aka123]

I think this list is unbiased and quite fine. Probably UK, France and Spain may drop back a bit and Norway, Luxembourg and South Korea should come in.

#4 sounds decent though we could do better, hopefully we keep working hard and all achieve a decent living standard folks. However I do disagree with UK being too ahead in comparison to France or Chinois Tapei, which are way too in low contrast and seriously UK(a country in recession).

Canada does not have any opportunity , lot of doctors and engineers immigrate to Canada end up driving taxis and delivering pizzas

Just b/c a lot of people are too lazy to work it doesn't mean there's no work! Alberta has some of the lowest unemployment rates on the planet.

I moved to the province from BC in Feb and applied to 3 job ads. Within a week I was working. This year I'll make 60-70K dollars and this is my first year in this career (non-destructive testing). Next year I'll make 80,000. Starting from year 3 my wage will go above 6 figures. And this is just in Edmonton. I'm too much of a ***** to go to places like Fort MacMurray. People make insane amounts of cash in those areas.

Canada is a great place if you're not lazy and willing to do work. Western Canada's economy runs on natural resources (oil, mining, lumber etc...) and if you're willing to work, you get paid better than some doctors. After a few years of experience you actually end up making more than lawyers and doctors.
