Average Annual Wages: $50,000

The workforce in Switzerland is one of the happiest in the world, and this is for a reason. Though an average Swiss worker earns nearly the same as the average worker in the U.S., there is a massive difference in the working hours. They work nearly 155 hours less each year, than compared to the workers in the most developed economies across the globe.

A whopping one third of workforce is on part-time schedules and nearly 79 percent of the country's working-age population is employed. These numbers are the highest among any industrialized economy in the world.
