OyCrumber thankyou for pointing out the obvious. I love how your always quoting my posts just to say stuff i already know or stuff i could care less about just so you can type big words and seem smart.
Was the big word "explaining", "America", or "unemployment"? Or is it a mystery word?
The biggest factor by far in the Numbeo link you've posted is purchasing power, and the US does extremely well on that (2nd in the world after Qatar). The OECD index (better link here) uses a bunch of equal-weighted variables, of which (PPP-adjusted) income is only one factor. Either ranking is entirely dependent on the weights you put on each factor, i.e. what important factors are to you.
Bro...when i first read your post i thought there was going to be a major difference between american and Canadian unemployment rates, but leave it to you to to do something like that...this is exactly what it says on the website you listed "gap would be almost two percentage points if the Canadian rate was measured in the same way as the American" lol only 2 percentage points...your insane.
I'm insane? For posting an explanation on why the US and Canada calculate unemployment differently? You're paranoid.
and i proved you wrong, want me to say it again to you why it isn't, just because you dont like it doesn't mean its wrong, lots of stuff you post is BS but we all still deal with it.
This is word to word explaining there statistics.
"Quality of Life Index is an estimation of overall quality of life by using empirical formula (the formula is an our opinion and it's based on experiments). The actual formula might be changed. Currently, we put the highest weight to pollution - if the environment is polluted too much, the economy or safety cannot fulfill it. We put the second highest importance to safety, since it is more important to feel safe rather than wealthy, in our opinion. etc. The number 65 is added so that the numbers are in such range so it rarely goes under zero (65 is a range modifier)."
There are other QOL indexes that also use 'empirical' values and methodologies and you have chosen to ignore them in the past (I know you have because I posted them and you went AWOL). Probably because they don't rank the U.S so high. Hey its natural to do this, but the U.S is not in the top 10 in all QOL indexes - ignoring that is your prerogative but it is obvious to everyone in here except yourself.

They even explain the purchasing power and the rest fo the criteria even in more depth. Please we all had enough of your pathetic posts.
