Abstract
This study computes the Discomfort Index, also known as the Misery Index, for 276 European Union NUTS2 regions to determine how “suffering†a region is or not before and after the global crisis. The geographical distribution of European Union regions according to their discomfort has deeply changed in the post-financial crisis years.
