Hawaii is the 2nd happiest state in America
Posted by Tony Kawaguchi, RA on Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 at 11:54pm.I have no idea how Louisiana beat us, but Hawaii is the second happiest state in the Union, according to a recent study published by the UK’s University of Warwick and Hamilton College in the US.
They were looking at the happiness levels of one million US citizens to discover which are the best and worst states in which to live in the United States.
"The state-by-state pattern is of interest in itself. But it also matters scientifically. We wanted to study whether people's feelings of satisfaction with their own lives are reliable, that is, whether they match up to reality -- of sunshine hours, congestion, air quality, etc -- in their own state. And they do match. When human beings give you an answer on a numerical scale about how satisfied they are with their lives, you should pay attention."
The top 10 :
| 1 | Louisiana |
| 2 | Hawaii |
| 3 | Florida |
| 4 | Tennessee |
| 5 | Arizona |
| 6 | Mississippi |
| 7 | Montana |
