In fact, the highest-ranking North American city was Ottawa, Canada at number 7. European cities dominated the top of the list with Oslo coming in at number 1 followed by Bern and Helsinki. Switzerland was represented by a whopping three spots on the top ten list, with Germany boasting two cities in the top ten.
The first United States city that appears on this list comes in at a much lower ranking, number 32. Ranking anywhere between 32 and 41, are US cities Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Boston, San Francisco, and Washington.
According to Kisi’s data, it comes down to a combination of factors including shorter work weeks, more vacation days, and better access to child care and parental leave.
If you’re looking for a city with a great work-life balance, you might want to consider moving to Europe, specifically Norway, Switzerland, or Germany. If you’re looking for a change of scenery and a better work-life balance, these European cities might be just what the doctor ordered.
