ILO Economic Security Index

The International Labor Organization, the crazed socialist arm of the United Nations, has a new Economic Security Index. The report ranks countries on seven measures of work-related security. Turns out Sweden is a socialist paradise -- who knew? -- and in the United States, ranked twenty-five, much of the workforce lives in a state of constant terror. Surveying 48,000 workers in 90 countries, the report concludes: "The most important determinant of national happiness is not income level – there is a positive association but rising income seems to have little effect as wealthy countries grow wealthier. The most important factor is the extent of income security, measured in terms of income protection and a low degree of income inequality." Oddly, given the ILO's socialist ideology, the actual index isn't free -- you have to buy the book.
