Based on seven variables, Bloomberg has scored 74 nations around the world for their “stressed-out” factor and finds the USA to be 54th (so stop whining and suck it up), Norway the least stressed-out of all and El Salvador and South Africa at the top with Nigeria (with the roiling Egyptians ranking 15th).

Bloomberg ranked countries based on the stressfulness of their living environments.

 

Methodology

Seven equally weighted variables were considered:
