They do have a smaller percentage of their population living in poverty. Sweden: 6.5% United States: 17%

An the rest of the story:

How do they measure poverty? The Swedes tell me they don't have any poor people.

And who in their country experiences poverty Vs who in the USA?

Why do most Swedes who come here to work want to stay?

Why do the Swedes in our country make fun of our show of patriotism? They say they would never fly their national flag on the front porch of their homes, as we do.

Why is their suicide rate so high - this is what they tell me: "suicide rate is much higher than in the USA." -- higher quality of life????

The UN used the same standard when measuring poverty in the 177 countries

Why do most Swedes who come here to work want to stay?

Evidence?
