Which nation performs best for citizenry?

By November 2009, 230 million urban Chinese have joined the basic pension insurance program and more than 1.2 billion Chinese people enjoy basic medical insurance.

By October 2009, 83 percent of Chinese college graduates have found jobs. In the first three quarters of last year, 151.98 million rural residents in China provinces were employed in cities, an increase of 11.57 million over the end of 2008. In the first 11 months of 2009, new jobs were created for 10.13million people in urban areas. In 2009, the average net income of a rural resident increased 6 percent.

Though China retained its momentum of fast economic growth in 2009, the central authorities are mindful of problems in the economy.

Leaders at all levels should promote the fine traditions of the CPC, bear in mind people's welfare and livelihood, solve problems and bring benefits for the people, he said.

Any practice that undermines people's interests should be rectified and money should be used in areas that would improve people's livelihood and advance economic development.

But what of once-proud USA?
 
The USA participation rate, or the share of the USA population in the labor force, fell to 64.6 percent, a 24-year low.

The underemployment rate which includes part-time workers who’d prefer a full-time position and people who want work but have given up looking rose to 17.3 percent from 17.2 percent.

Over the past two years, the drop in USA payrolls has been the biggest as a percentage of all jobs since World War II.

Government payrolls decreased by 21,000 in December 2009.

One in six USA people are now without access to medical care.

USA deficits and debts are mountainous.

USA is number one?

USA government needs to cut spending or raise taxes by a total of as much as 9% of GDP.
 
The latest data show that an estimated 13.2 percent of the USA population had income below the poverty threshold. This is 0.2 percentage points higher than the 13.0 percent poverty rate for 2007. The estimated number of USA people in poverty increased by 1.1 million to 39.1 million in 2008.
