A new study has revealed the ten happiest and unhappiest states in America - with Massachusetts leading the way as the cheeriest place to live.
The Schoolaroo Study analysed 54 metrics that were divided into seven key categories to determine happiness levels in all 50 states.
Massachusetts landed top spot as the happiest state, Illinois came second, Connecticut third, New Jersey, fourth, and New York featured in the top 5.
In the least happy states, South Carolina came first, Missouri second, Tennessee third, Oklahoma fourth and Alabama in fifth place.
However, most of the southern states have the lowest levels of happiness, according to Schoolaro, as they ranked the highest in metrics like depression rate, number of hours worked per week and obesity rate.
So I see social policies as a determining factor. Be Queer or get down graded?View attachment 67453236

How could I have guessed this thread was going to tickle a few sensitivities?Try to buy a house in new York and tell.me how happy you are
Settle down Canada. You're just jealous you can't live hereHow could I have guessed this thread was going to tickle a few sensitivities?
You deflect with this sensitivity stuff and don't like it right back. Lol
That is one heckuva' lot of not happy republicans. No wonder they are always bitching. All bunched up in the southeast where republicans, in general, are in charge.View attachment 67453236

Gee, I wonder WHAT seems to be the biggest difference between the happiest and least happy states?And how is it possible that the most Woke states appear to be the happiest?? How is THAT possible?
Talk about bitching, look at the rebuttals to this thread from those who likely live in those unhappy states (though they are not likely to fess up where they live) and you get the feeling we are dealing with some VERY unhappy people.That is one heckuva' lot of not happy republicans.

Horsecrap, bad representation is the culprit. All of those states, mostly run by republicans. Put up a map of the poorest states, it will look wildly similar to the unhappy south.So I see social policies as a determining factor. Be Queer or get down graded?
Chicago is one city in a big state, it's not the whole state.Illinois is at the top, come on man! Ever been to Chicago, they have a nightly killing spree. That city alone should knock Illinois out. Obviously some stupid determining factors were used.
On the other hand, when you trash their home states you have to expect they may get a tad defensive.Horsecrap, bad representation is the culprit. All of those states, mostly run by republicans. Put up a map of the poorest states, it will look wildly similar to the unhappy south.
You sound a little sensitive. LolTalk about bitching, look at the rebuttals to this thread from those who likely live in those unhappy states (though they are not likely to fess up where they live) and you get the feeling we are dealing with some VERY unhappy people.
If I could afford to buy a house in nyc, I would be very happy.Try to buy a house in new York and tell.me how happy you are
Exactly. But you can't.If I could afford to buy a house in nyc, I would be very happy.

Well, admittedly the list of priorities were NOT guns, marrying below legal age, chasing blacks for fun, beating up queers, getting drunk and racing around in 4x4s, so I can understand you found that the criteria for happiness wasn't southern style.stupid really
What the study looked at
- Personal finance
- Leisure activities
- Mental Health
- Physical Health
- Employment
- Personal relationships
- Social policies
and other things that are arguably NOT about happiness
no, that is NOT a list of happy/unhappy states ..... its a list of states that meet a criteria of expectations that someone things might make someone happy or not
