The United States has reached its lowest happiness ranking ever, according to the annual World Happiness Report. The country ranked 24th in the index, dropping from as high as 11th in 2012. Germany overtook the US, moving up to 22nd place, while Finland remained the happiest country for the eighth year in a row. Key factors contributing to declining well-being include growing numbers of Americans eating alone, with about one in four reporting solitary meals daily. The report also notes an increase in “deaths of despair” in the US, despite declining rates globally.
