We see a lot of studies that try to rank the happiest and least happy states in America, but this one’s pretty comprehensive . . .
WalletHub.com looked at 25 factors, including things like crime rates . . . how much sleep people get . . . how many hours they work . . . and how much time they spend outdoors.
And they found that the happiest state in America is UTAH . . . which also happens to be the state where people work the fewest HOURS per week.
The ten happiest states are Utah . . . Minnesota . . . Hawaii . . . Colorado . . . North Dakota . . . Nebraska . . . Washington . . . Iowa . . . Massachusetts . . . and Wyoming. So Massachusetts was the ONLY east coast state to make the top ten.
West Virginia came in last, just behind Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
A few more stats worth mentioning: People in South Dakota get the most sleep on average, and people in Kentucky get the least. And you’re the least likely to be depressed if you live in Hawaii . . . and most likely if you live in Oregon.
