There are lot of countries out there in the occident where you can’t "excise unproductive divisions" and where firing a worker without a solid reason is hard and dangerous for the employer.
And guess what, they have a cost of living that is comparable to the US (except for housing which is currently shitty all over the occidental world).
Ok, you may say that the US is the first worldwide economy or whatever. And what ? A good economy is just a tool to help societies flourish. If you have a powerful economy but your citizens are sad and depressed, you are loosing the society game anyway.
Being efficient at getting shit done is probably important for global happiness, but that’s up to a point.
If people in US are sad, it’s not because schools are too long to construct or because roads are too long to fix, it’s because nobody even decides to build/fix them because it benefits "only" to the community.
Humans don’t inherently hate working, that’s even probably ingrained in their genes, they just hate being exploited.
