For months, Scott Abbey reported to work on the sandwich line of an industrial kitchen. He and his coworkers prepared 20,000 meals each day, which were then sold by a $16.2 billion multinational food and facility services conglomerate. In order to use the restroom at work, Mr. Abbey and his coworkers were forced to wade through urine and feces that overflowed from toilets that were never cleaned. The fecal matter on their shoes traveled with them back into the kitchen, where Mr. Abbey and his coworkers often found rodents around the food they prepared. Mr. Abbey was given a single meal per day and provided no means to challenge either the conditions he suffered or the fact he earned $0 for his work.

We recently compiled a list of the 21 Colleges With the Unhappiest Students and in this article we will discuss the college that topped our list. According to the 2024 World Happiness Report developed by the University of Oxford’s Wellbeing Research Center, the USA ranks in the 23rd spot with a 6.725 score. This marks the first year since the report’s first edition in 2012 that the USA did not rank among the top 20 happiest countries in the world. It dropped from the 15th spot to the 23rd between 2023 and 2024 alone. The happiness ranking is especially concerning for younger generated (aged 30 or under). The report ranks the USA in the 62nd spot with a score of 6.392, while the country ranks in the 10th spot for the ranking of happiness in older adults (aged 60 and above). The drastic disparity between the happiness levels of the two segments of the country’s population points to worsening estimates for the young population, a significant majority of which are students.
