Armenia ranked 129th in UN World Happiness Report
Norway, last year's victor, came in second place in the 2018 report.
In 2013, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report recommending that federal statistics and surveys, which normally deal with income, spending, health and housing, include a few extra questions on happiness because it would lead to better policy that affects people's lives.
Perhaps the most striking finding of the whole report is that the ranking of countries according to the happiness of their immigrant populations is nearly exactly the same as for the rest of the population.
Although swapping places, the top 10 positions have been held by the same countries over the past two years, namely Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and Australia.
Differences among the top five countries are small enough that jostling among the top five is expected every year. The study found that the 10 happiest countries also scored highest on immigrant happiness, suggesting that migrants' well-being was tied to the quality of life in their adopted home.

"I've joked with the other Americans that we are living the American dream here in Finland", said Brianna Owens, who moved from the United States and is now a teacher in Espoo, Finland's second biggest city with a population of around 280,000.
Finland switched places with last year's victor Norway who came in at No.2 among 156 countries, with Europe's Nordic nations having dominated the index since it was first introduced in 2012.
The tiny country of Bhutan, which came in 97th place, brought attention to happiness as a metric for its people. The least happy nation, according to the index, is Burundi in East Africa. The annual World Happiness Report was released ahead of the International Day of Happiness on March 20. The rankings of the world's happiest countries came from an analysis of data from surveys in 156 countries taken from 2015 to 2017.
