For some grounding, I would like to see how many US citizens migrate to those happy countries vs how many happy citizens migrate to the US.

Actions speak louder.

People don't simply emigrate when conditions are bad or even horrible.

There are many barriers which can be almost impossible to surmount: learning a new language, leaving your friends behind, having to finding a job (what if you don't speak the language), having to sell you house and car, etc.
