According to the Economist, Qatar is the least miserable place to be. Their index measures unemployment plus inflation rates. Time to stop whining folks! ;-)

just randomly pick someone from the Industrial area and you'll know the truth.

Unemployment levels are low?

In a country that you can only enter if you have a sponsor, and a work permit? Most of the other countries on the list, you can enter and bum around without working.

Here people HAVE to be employed to stay, they cannot seek asylum.

Trying coming here for an extended period without a job to go to.

Idiotic data, having a job does not equal happiness.

If there's anything useful I've ever learn in pursuing my Ph.D. (not Pizza Hut Delivery) is that, you can manipulate data to meet your need. China is as miserable as US and France, yeah, right.

I'm Chinese, and this is my first post in QL. :-)

As per the chart, inflation in Qatar is 2.5%. Is it really this much? I thought it was higher.

How can an organization be compared with country (ies) .... if the organization is working fine obviously unemployment is not an issue.

How do economic measures equate to happiness or otherwise?

I was in Amsterdam the other week which is suffering economically, but I was a hell of a lot less miserable there than I am in Qatar! :)
