Economic ratings are poor – and getting worse – in most countries surveyed
Majorities of adults in 18 of 24 countries surveyed this spring rate their nation’s economic situation poorly.
A 47-nation survey finds that as economic growth has surged in much of Latin America, East Europe and Asia over the past five years, people are expressing greater satisfaction with their personal lives, family incomes and national conditions. The picture is different in most advanced nations, where growth has been less robust and citizen satisfaction has changed little since 2002.
