Question

The average German worker worked about 400 fewer hours per year and earned nearly​ $14,000 less than did the average worker in the United States. Can we conclude anything about the​ well-being of the average German worker versus the​ well-being of the average worker in the United States from these​ data? What other measures would you like to see in evaluating the​ well-being of workers in these two​ countries?

Answer 1

Answer:

By itself his information doesn't tell us a lot about the well being of German and American workers because even though German workers earn significantly less than American workers, they also work less hours.

Both Germany and the US are considered developed countries and other factors must be included before determining the standard of living of the population, e.g. crime rates, pollution, income distribution, life expectancy, etc.
