Across all income brackets there was a decrease in life rating, measured by percentage of respondents who were thriving, directly after the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak. Figures from July 2020 show a slight up-tick for those in income brackets above 24,000 U.S. dollars. This statistic shows the percentage of U.S. respondents who evaluated their life as "thriving" between January 2018 and July 2020, by annual household income.
Percentage of U.S. adults who evaluated their life as "thriving" in periods between January 2018 and July 2020*
* Gallup classifies Americans as "thriving" according to how they rate their current and future lives on a ladder scale with steps numbered from 0 to 10, based on the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale. Those who rate their current life a 7 or higher, and their anticipated life in five years an 8 or higher, are classified as thriving.
** Data compiled from multiple Gallup Panels and samples from the Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index.
