The latest ‘Glücksatlas 2024’ report indicates a rebound in life satisfaction among Germans, climbing to an average score of 7.06, reflecting levels comparable to the 2010s. Notably, Hamburg leads with a score of 7.38, attributed to robust economic performance and quality healthcare. In contrast, the Saarland ranks lowest at 6.73. The survey highlights a significant recovery following the pandemic and inflation, with improved sentiments especially among previously affected groups, including single individuals and working mothers. While the 2019 pre-pandemic peak of 7.14 remains unachieved, 2024 marks a crucial turning point for many.
