The US is a shitty industrial environment without strong regulation to protect the individuals. Also healthcare is limited and the habits of many americans don't help either. Unhealthy foods and car culture make for a bad mix. In many places there aren't even enough sideways so you're literally forced to drive everywhere. When it comes to social services if you're unemployed you are also basically valued barely anything. If you run out of money you're in trouble. The social safety net would have to be expanded. The work culture is also lets say not the greatest. When it comes to PTO this should not include sick days but it does. Employer protection against firing is also not existent. So lets just say quality of life could be a lot better...
