Australians Aren't Too Happy According To Updated Facebook GNH

Last night Facebook expanded their Gross National Happiness product to include three new countries: Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. In contrast to the United States which is happy most of the time, Australia is regularly unhappy when it isn’t holidays. In 2007 it appears as though Australia was “unhappy” most of the time. This only leads me to wonder if Australians speak a different form of English than Americans.

Other interesting findings posted by Adam Kramer of Facebook:

  • Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day are still among the happiest days for all of these nations, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday are happiest days of the week.
