“Using these categories, we established an overall Working Millennial Index score by scoring each country out of 5 across the elements and totalling this together, allowing for a highest available total score of 30,” reads the report.
“Average Salary was first assigned a ranking which was then scored out of 5, in order to balance out the differences in currencies.”
Canada was the highest-ranked country in the Americas, with the United States coming in at number 9, and Mexico at 15.
