Rhode Island is the happiest state in the U.S., according to an analysis.

To determine the nation's happiest states, analysts compared states across two dimensions — emotional and physical well-being; and community and environment — using metrics. Metrics ranged from the suicide rate to the homicide rate, etc.

Data for the metrics came from 2018 to 2020, when the most recent information was available.

Here are the 10 happiest states, according to the analysis:
Rhode Island
Massachusetts
New York
New Jersey
Connecticut
Hawaii
Minnesota
California

Maine
New Hampshire

I think maybe we're on to something here. I've been to strip clubs in 6 of the top 10, and I would rank them more or less in the order named, with the possible exception of Connecticut.

I've been to clubs in zero of the bottom 10. Anybody care to fill in my ignorance?

It’s strange Nebraska is on the happy list when most of the states surrounding it are on the unhappy list.

Eckert said "Rhode Island is the happiest state in the U.S., according to an analysis."

That's bullshit... regardless of you not citing a source.

The very narrow niches carved out by some TUSCL users is weird.

I've been to all of these states and can't say I believe the list. Some of the most stressed out people I have even seen are in the Northeast. On the other hand, some of these places in the South have people that are very friendly, and you can't walk past anyone without a hello greeting. In the Northeast you get a lot of car horn to say move on asshole.

I remember a customer getting so mad about something that he was almost spitting. I almost had to walk out of the room to keep from laughing at his anger.

Yeah what is your source. Who did this analysis ? I'm looking at the top 5 Happiest. Aren't all of those states also on the List of where people are moving OUT of ? Did all of the unhappy people leave ?

You might get different results if you surveyed Rhode Islanders where they're not drunk. But I'm not sure that's possible.

The Happiest Place on America (according to Krusty) is in the State of Baja California.
