Norway vaulted to the top slot in the World Happiness Report despite the plummeting price of oil, a key part of its economy.

Canada cracked the top 10 in the list of 155 countries. It earned the No. 7 spot, a slight drop from sixth place last year.

Still, Canada is considerably more upbeat than the U.S, where happiness is declining. Though income in the United States has gone up over the past decade, it hasn’t corresponded to an uptick in happiness.

The United States was 14th in the latest ranking, down from No. 13 last year. While most countries were either getting happier or at least treading water, America’s happiness score dropped 5 per cent over the past decade.
