I don't think that's a true statement at all. Only way it can be called true is if you classify 'industrialized countries' as those specifically with higher standards of living than America. USA ranks 10 on the human development index https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_...ment_Index
The only countries they are behind are a small handful of western European countries that spent centuries plundering the rest of the world. I'm in southern Spain right now, and there is no way it has a higher standard of living than the USA.
Heh, since you are in the hood, come to Portugal. Good food, places to see and prices comparatively are cheaper (wages also are lol). Its rainy but its much needed.
