Miserable Germans are the second-grumpiest in the EU, study shows, as their economy heads towards recession and their government faces budget crisis
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Germans are among the least happy bunch in Europe, reporting the biggest shock drop in life satisfaction over the last 10 years of any country in the EU, data shows.
Research by Eurostat, the EU's stats agency, took a year-by-year measure of satisfaction between 2013 and 2022, asking Europeans to rate how they were doing on a scale from zero to 10.
Germans have seen the most dramatic shift downwards, self-reporting an average of 7.3 in 2013 down to just 6.5 last year as the country heads for a deeper recession -- making them the second most miserable on the continent overall.
Only in October the International Monetary Fund predicted the German republic would be the worst performing major economy this year, hit hard by high inflation and a manufacturing slump, and expected to shrink 0.5 per cent year.
The country also now faces a troubling budget crisis, with the coalition in charge struggling to agree a deal aimed at plugging an estimated €17bn gap in next year's spending plans.
