#Net Gainers

The term Net Gainers refers to the difference between those who feel their life improved (the “Gainers”) and those who feel their life worsened (the “Losers”). In this survey, the Net Gainers score is +15 (39% minus 23%). To compare, in the previous surveys conducted in March 2024 and December 2023, the Net Gainers score was lower, at +5, which is considered “fair.” In simpler terms: more people are saying their life got better than those who say it got worse, and this is seen as a positive trend by SWS. Education and Quality of Life Interestingly, the survey also found that people’s education level played a role in how they felt about their life improvements: Those with a college education had the highest Net Gainers score, at +21, which is “excellent.” People who finished junior high school had a score of +19, also very high. Families that did not experience hunger had a higher Net Gainers score of +18, compared to families that went hungry, whose score was +12.
