Norway is a small oil exporting country. Its not exactly comparable to the US. It doesn't have many more people than LA (just the city, it has much less than the metro area)

And "rocketing ahead" isn't true. Its got a slightly larger GDP per capita ( en.wikipedia.org ) but it isn't that far ahead by that measure. The only other European country ahead of us is Luxembourg.

Pick any large European country and you'll find their income is lower, and in most cases their unemployment rates are higher.
