This seems to be the full list:
I think the people that did the survey don't like SEC football.
How is Oregon on the unhappy list but Washington escaped?
How can Hawaii be so happy with an economy that is decimated by a 6 month lockdown?
Nicespice bc Oregon is emo and Washington is Amazon.
Utah is NOT happy. 😂
It looks like you have a smile on your face Daybreaker...
hey. at least i’m happy.
makes sense that new york is not in top 10. people i've met from upstate seem calm and happy. now if nyc was its own state it would probably have easily made the top 5 of this list.
Them revenues keep lookin for my still! Leave me alone and don't touch my sister!
Ha ha - I live in NJ, I’m a happy person, but I’m surprised to see it at #4. I guess compared to NYC and Philly it seems like an escape to paradise right now.
NJ is 4? Wow! That is unexpected!
I call bullshit on MN, NJ, MD, NY, CT, and FL.
Yesh I too was surprised with some in the top 10 - as @Warrior posted, could be the producers of this data were biased whether consciously or subconsciously
I'm still laughing at Utah being number two. This state is full of mormons on prescription drugs, angry ex-mo's and people fleeing California who don't know what they're in for. 😂
