Americans are much richer than Europeans so this doesn’t seem like an obvious choice. As of 2011 the UK and France were poorer than all but two US states, Germany poorer than all but six[1]. That understates how much richer the US is. Look at average household consumption [2]. The US, 5% of the human race, is behind Hong Kong, a city state and almost $10,000 ahead of Switzerland. Average individual consumption would probably show the US as number 1 given bigger households than either Hong Kong or Switzerland. And as far as working conditions go in the US it’s generally actually possible to get a job. All of Southern Europe and most of Northern Europe have higher unemployment than the US and has for decades.
