If things were so bad over there, we would be seeing tons of immigrants from Western Europe these days. That immigration isn't happening, generally because people from there don't want to leave to come here

There is no flood of European immigrants because western Europeans are disappearing due to the worlds lowest birthrate and are being replaced by immigrants from the middle east and north Africa

The average European works to live, the average American lives to work. On average I would say European workers are happier working less hours, with more frequent vacations, in exchange for a slightly lower salary in comparison with their American coworkers.

i think this also has a lot to do with the low birthrate of western Europeans. Americans want to work hard and earn lots of money to give their kids everything they need and want. Europeans would rather not have kids and get 3 extra weeks of vacation a year
