  == Copyright ==  Publishing Mercer's list here in its entirety, without explicit permission, is a violation of copyright. Mercer does, however, give permission to journalists, and by extension to us, to list the top 10 and bottom 10 cities in a table. So I'm going to cut the list down to the top 10; anyone with access to the full (2012) report who wants to add the bottom 10 to the article can do so.
