A staggering 40% of Americans say living in U.S. not worth it.
March 6 (King World News) – Gerald Celente: About two in five Americans told a recent survey that they no longer find living in the country enjoyable, and many have set their sights on moving to another country—especially the younger generation.
Study Finds reported that a survey was conducted by Talker Research that identified millennials as the age group most willing to seek life outside of the United States, with 25 percent indicating that they would like to pack up and leave—and about five percent stating that they have already started looking into such a move.
As with everything, their economic status played an oversized role in their interest in moving, with many feeling that they can experience a higher quality of life, more stable safety net, and better work-life balance working careers in other countries.
The survey acknowledged that this age group’s response “likely reflects the unique challenges faced by millennials, who have experienced multiple economic downturns, rising student debt, and increasingly unaffordable housing throughout their adult lives.”
The report noted that Midwesterners were most likely interested in moving abroad, with 18 percent expressing interest in moving to a foreign destination. That was followed by 16 percent of those living in the southwest, southeast, and northeast.
The survey found that 19 percent of those with an interest to move, looked north to Canada as their destination of choice. The respondents cited “Canada’s high-quality healthcare (41 percent), its diverse landscape offering ample opportunities for exploration and recreation (28 percent), and the nation’s practical approach to work-life balance (21 percent) as primary attractions,” the survey found.
Clint Kreider, a licensed marriage and family therapist at Still Water Wellness Group, told Knewz that the millennial generation was raised largely “in the shadow of the 2008 recession and pandemic-era instability, they’ve inherited skepticism toward traditional pathways to stability. Social media amplifies this by showcasing alternatives—countries with robust safety nets, affordable education or mandated vacation time.”
He told the outlet that in his own therapy practice he routinely witnesses “clients grappling with what I call ‘invisible attrition’: a sense that no matter how hard they work, systemic barriers (skyrocketing healthcare costs, stagnant wages and unrelenting hustle culture) erode their ability to thrive.”
The survey found that 69 percent of all American adults are concerned about the direction of the country and 65 percent say they believe that society has become “toxic.”
Italy came in behind Canada as a destination choice for Americans interested in fleeing (11 percent) because of its food (68 percent), and culture (66 percent), according to the report. Italians are looked at by Americans as warmer and more welcoming. These respondents also cited Italy’s scenery as another factor in their desire to move there, the report said.
TRENDPOST:
Happy days are not here again, and millions of Americans feel like they’ve been left behind as the “Bigs” keep getting bigger and they’re forced to take on “side-hustles”—like driving for DoorDash—to put food on their own tables.
The Trends Journal noted that these Americans spoke out in November when they went to the polls and handed Donald Trump his second term as president.
They voted for Trump because they saw him as an antidote to four excruciating years under Joe Biden’s economy.
Time will tell if Trump delivers a higher economic future for the failing working class Americans.
