Happiness is declining in the U.S., according to the World Happiness Report 2024 released on Wednesday, coinciding with the UN's International Day of Happiness.
The study reveals that, for the first time in the report's 12-year history, the U.S. failed to secure a spot among the top 20 happiest countries in the world. It ranks No. 23 -- down from 15th-place the previous year.
