Mauritania
Misery index score: 37
CPI inflation: 7%
Unemployment: 30%
Half of the population is still dependent on agriculture and livestock to earn a living, and poverty is rampant. The local economy depends heavily on commodities exports, mostly of iron ore. These exports are nearly the sole reason the Mauritanian economy grew five percent last year.
