U.S. drops further in happiness survey

Tulsa, Okla. — Lots of people seek the American Dream, but the NORWEGIAN Dream might not be bad either.

The Associated Press says according to the World Happiness Report, Norway is the happiest country on Earth.

And yes, part of the reason is money.

Norway is a wealthy nation.

But it's not the whole reason.

The U.S. is obviously pretty wealthy, and we actually dropped from 13th to 14th happiest in the survey.

Some in Norway speculate that well-functioning institutions and a broad education and health care safety net are also key.

Many of Norway's neighbors are happy too.

Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland, and Finland round out the top 5 on the list.

The least happy countries according to the survey are the Central African Republic, Burundi, Tanzania, Syria and Rwanda.
