Given that it includes health care, education, and a ton of vacation, yeah, they will find that they lead a much better life.

The goal isn't to maximize the number. The goal is to lead a good life. The number can help with that, but not if you focus on it to the exclusion of the things that matter.

You do get to live quite nicely with 60k€ in France, with median being 22k€.
