Maybe you have just joined the workforce and you already realize that working nine hours a day at a job you hate isn’t a way to spend the rest of your life. Maybe you’ve been working for a while and you’ve suddenly realized that you can save a little bit of effort by moving to a place and a career that makes you happy. Maybe you just can’t do what you’ve been doing any longer and you desperately need a change of scenery. Whatever the reason, you’re on the hunt for the best place in the world to work, while also having the best quality of life and being truly happy. Luckily for you, we’ve come along to give you the list of the countries in the world that have a great combination of happy workforces, good pay and low unemployment.
7. Switzerland
Switzerland is one of those countries that is very good for women who have children, when it comes to finding work. The country has an unemployment rate of just over 3 percent. That ranks among the top 20 in the world and is constantly at or near the lowest rate in all of Europe.
6. Taiwan
The people in Taiwan tend to live pretty long lives on average and they are able to enjoy steady employment while they are enjoying their long life spans. The unemployment rate of just 3.76 percent is the envy of plenty of countries in the region, as well as the developed world.
5. United States
The United States probably wouldn’t have made this list just a few years ago. The country has managed to turn itself around and now has one of the higher per capita incomes in the world, while also boasting an unemployment rate of just 5.3 percent. Women who have school age kids are able to find plenty of jobs, with 73 percent of this population working.
4. Sweden
Sweden actually has a rather high unemployment rate (8.5 percent) but if you can find a job there, you are going to like it. The country has just one percent of its workforce putting in more than 50 hours per week and less than eight hours per day.
Workers also earn more than $45,000 a year, among the best annual salaries in the world.
3. New Zealand
Like its neighbor, Australia, New Zealand is a country that is thought of as quite impressive. The unemployment rate is actually less than Australia and comparable to countries like the United States and the UK with a percentage right around 5.8 percent.
Those who are living and working in the country are making a decent wage, on average around $34,000 and living well into their eighties. And then of course, there is the same kind of beautiful surroundings that visitors to the area have been talking about for decades.
2. Singapore
Some people might be a bit surprised to see Singapore on this list. The fact of the matter is the country is rather pretty, has an unemployment rate of a minuscule 1.81 percent and its workers have a per capita income of more than $78,000.
1. Netherlands
First of all, you’ve got Amsterdam, which is like the Las Vegas of Europe, if Las Vegas was a little more like Heaven. You’ve also got a workforce that worked less hours, on average than almost anyone else in the world. Just one percent of the population averaged more than 50 hours a week
