In Which Miss Jill Is Shocked To Discover That She Is Destined For A Lifetime of Depression

As an Chicagoan and a New York resident, I thought that this study was interesting. I have no idea who the "scientists" they are referring to are, but they did a study that ranked states by the self reported happiness of their inhabitants. I appear to be doomed.

I found this here
Most happy to least happy:
1. Louisiana
2. Hawaii
3. Florida
4. Tennessee
5. Arizona
6. Mississippi
7. Montana
8. South Carolina
9. Alabama
10. Maine
11. Alaska
12. North Carolina
13. Wyoming
14. Idaho
15. South Dakota
16. Texas
17. Arkansas
18. Vermont
19. Georgia
20. Oklahoma
21. Colorado
22. Delaware
23. Utah
24. New Mexico
25. North Dakota
26. Minnesota
27. New Hampshire
28. Virginia
29. Wisconsin
30. Oregon
31. Iowa
32. Kansas
33. Nebraska
34. West Virginia
35. Kentucky
36. Washington
37. District of Columbia
38. Missouri
39. Nevada
40. Maryland
41. Pennsylvania
42. Rhode Island
43. Massachusetts
44. Ohio
45. Illinois
46. California
47. Indiana
48. Michigan
49. New Jersey
50. Connecticut
51. New York

  1. I can safely say that Idaho is not happy. The study is flawed. (PS Have you read "The Geography of Bliss?" I really enjoyed it.)

  2. Alaska was 11, i was really happy there...so maybe the study is not all that flawed.

  3. The state rankings on this subject goes all over the map every time a new study comes out.
