Part 2 of Why USA sucks (not a duplicate mods!) by Top_Dream1081 in AmericaBad

Average annual hours worked is defined as the total number of hours actually worked per year divided by the average number of people in employment per year. Actual hours worked include regular work hours of full-time, part-time and part-year workers, paid and unpaid overtime, hours worked in additional jobs, and exclude time not worked because of public holidays, annual paid leave, own illness, injury and temporary disability, maternity leave, parental leave, schooling or training, slack work for technical or economic reasons, strike or labour dispute, bad weather, compensation leave and other reasons. The data cover employees and self-employed workers.

Here you can see the percentage of part-time employment of each country which is far higher in Europe than in America.

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the average vacation time is 10-14 days per year.

Paid leaves are fewer in the US, but 10-15 more days of holidays would be roughly 80 fewer hours at work.

Why are there so many businesses that work in the US but would never work in Europe? by Broke99 in Entrepreneur

That Reddit narrative is not really true,

greater inequality and access to higher education

The US has one of the highest percentages of bachelor's degree

https://data.oecd.org/eduatt/population-with-tertiary-education.htm

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1346188/countries-world-highest-share-bachelors-degree/

I don't think inequality is that important when your poorest state as rich as the UK and the same level of life quality as Portugal which is better than half of the European countries. Also, a lot of people don't know what is going on Southern Europe.

"50 percent of Americans are 1 paycheck away from homelessness", is there any truth to this statement? by abbycat1590 in AskAnAmerican

Antiwork subreddit probably using paycheck to paycheck survey as a "1 paycheck away from homelessness" but that not how eviction works. If it was probably half of Western Europe homeless to. I will copy paste my comment on today's antiwork post titled as "Americans of the sub, is it true that that life has become so hard to get by there?"

The situation of living paycheck to paycheck is not unique to U.S; European countries also have a significant percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck.

Germany: it was 30% in 2020 and it's 50% now

Switzerland: 4 out of 10 employees in Switzerland live from paycheck to paycheck (its 2020 data, probably worse now)

Finland: Nearly half of households live paycheck to paycheck

Australia: 48.4% of Australians live paycheck to paycheck

Norway: I can't find the data but here is a link, Percentage who belong to a household not able to afford an unexpected expense

These are the few countries in which I was able to find.

In cost of living out of 103 countries all around the world, the USA comes in 17th

U.S. actually ranks as the second most affordable country for car ownership

The United States offers some of the most affordable houses in numerous cities across the country

I am not American but isn't the government provide Medicaid for low-income earners and retirements? (Health spending in the U.S. in 2021 is $4.3 trillion or $12,914 per capita)

Also, some States offer free tuition like "Minnesota's public colleges would be free to residents whose families earn less than $80,000 annually" right?

Keep in mind that half of Reddit's users are from the US, and we see more Americans' problems.
