Overall Infrastructure: We’re Number 11

Despite the infusion of billions of dollars from the Infrastructure legislation, the United States still has far to go in comparison with other OECD countries. Netherlands, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, Spain, and Germany top the list of overall infrastructure. The United States comes in 11th place.

Note: Overall infrastructure score includes transport, telephony, and energy. First and second place would have gone to Singapore and Hong Kong, but they were left out of these rankings.
