>Doesn't comparing income after tax make it a bit of an apples and oranges comparison to begin with?
True. OTOH, as long as they are using the same measure as before, then the report has meaning on a relative scale.
>Would be interesting to see a quality of life comparison
This would be interesting. I would like to see one world-wide (for instance, Americans may have been wealthier than Europeans for decades, but we also work harder).
It is hard to quantify, but even the comparison of a subjective measure of overall contentment could be revealing.
