According to the World Happiness Report for 2020 (which is a well-regarded and well-researched report as far as I know), 9 of the top 10 countries in the world for people's quality of life and well-being are all in the EU. The USA comes in 18th.

Devil's advocate here. They almost all have small populations: Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Netherlands combined have less people than Spain which isn't that happy. On average I'd gamble the whole EU is about as happy as the U.S

Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand most definitely are not in the EU.

Switzerland and Norway are in the European Common Market and are very much aligned on all fronts.
