People in sunny, outdoorsy states -- Louisiana, Hawaii, Florida -- say they're the happiest, and researchers think they know why.While this AP writer wants to write off the happiness quotient to good weather, how do they explain California, one of the most beautiful places on earth?A new study comparing self-described pleasant feelings with objective measures of good living found these folks generally have reason to feel fine.
The happiness ratings were based on a survey of 1.3 million people by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was collected over four years and included a question asking people how satisfied they are with their lives.
Economists Andrew J. Oswald and Stephen Wu compared the happiness ranking with studies that rated states on criteria including availability of public land, commuting time, taxes, climate, crime rates, air quality and schools.
Where does California rank? You'll see a similar quality to the last ten on this list.....
41. Pennsylvania
42. Rhode Island
43. Ohio
44. Massachusetts
45. Illinois
46. California
47. New Jersey
48. Indiana
49. Michigan
50. Connecticut
51. New York
Do you notice a nice tone of blue throughout these states. Only Indiana is what you would call a Red State.
Progressives......... making your area unlivable and making you miserable since the 1930's.
