If asked where citizens have the largest amount of available revenue, would you guess the United States? Luxembourg? Japan?
Here is a geographic look.
The graph is color-coded. The darker the blue the country, the larger the disposable income. The darker the orange, the smaller the disposable income.
Unsurprisingly, the figure shows Anglo-Saxon countries as largely the countries where citizens have the highest disposable income.
However, are you surprised by which country is in first place?
The following is a table look of the top 20.
Interestingly, on top is Switzerland at $6,302 (all figures are in dollars).
A distant second is Luxembourg at $4,480.
The remaining countries in the top five include Zambia at $4,331, Jersey at $4,323 and Bermuda at $4,250.
The globe’s soon-to-be second largest economy – the United States – fails to make it to the top 10, coming in at 13th with an average monthly disposable income of $3,259.
Also interestingly, some very important global powers are missing from the top 20. Of those missing is Germany, France, Russia, China, Japan, Canada, Singapore, and others.
