A new study has been released that ranks states (and DC) by how happy the population is within the states.
NC was ranked 12th happiest–that’s pretty good.
Top Five
1. Louisiana
2. Hawaii
3. Florida
4. Tennessee
5. Arizona
*The authors of the study provide a caveat regarding Louisiana because data were collected before Hurricane Katrina.
Bottom Five
47. Indiana
48. Michigan
49. New Jersey
50. Connecticut
51. New York
