Land of the Free? Fewer Americans Agree
For the third year in a row, Americans are less satisfied with their personal freedom than the rest of the world, including their peers in other wealthy, market-based economies.
In 2024, 72% of Americans said they were satisfied with their freedom to choose what they do with their lives, in line with where this sentiment has been since it plummeted in 2022. The 2024 level remains well below the 2007-2021 U.S. average of 83%.
