WHAT do you get when you mash together a country’s unemployment rate and inflation? You get a snapshot of how ‘miserable’ it is – that’s the general idea behind Bloomberg’s so-called Misery Index.

This year, Bloomberg crunched the ‘misery’ numbers for 63 countries around the world with some surprising and some not surprising results. But bear in mind that these are just projections at the moment – the data used to calculate each country’s score are its projected jobless rate and consumer price growth. https://asiancorrespondent.com/2016/02/thailand-projected-to-be-the-least-miserable-country-of-the-world-again/

Yep, my buffaloes can fly.
