New Report Has Us Wondering Why Louisiana Is So Unhappy
Hey WalletHub, Louisiana Wants to Know, Why Do You Hate Us?
When have we seen a report when Louisiana ranks high in something positive? From getting called the fattest state to the dumbest state, we just can't seem to get any positive story from WalletHub, silly us to think their latest report would have something nice to say about us right?
All 50 States Were Just Ranked By WalletHub to See Who is the Happiest.
The annual study ranked all 50 states. They covered all the basis from emotional and physical health to career satisfaction. According to WalletHub.com "Previous studies have found that good economic, emotional, physical and social health are all key to a well-balanced and fulfilled life.". So how did Louisiana do? Well, we need to work on ourselves.
It's no sure[rise that Hawaii came in on top as the happiest state in the U.S. I feel like we could have all seen that coming. WalletHub uses 30 different metrics to figure out how ideal a state is. They look at everything. How does the weather affect us? Are we depressed? How long are we expected to live? The study even looks at our sleep schedules and how often we are sleeping.
Louisiana Didn't Come in Dead Last, West Virginia Took That Title. Thank Goodness.
The 5th least happy states are
5. Alabama
4. Kentucky
3. Arkansas
2. Louisiana
1. West Virginia
Why Did Louisiana Rank So Low?
Could it be our unemployment rate or is it the horrid heat and humidity that has us miserable? All we really know is that WalletHub.com is asking us to focus on ourselves and be happier. How can we possibly do that when we are constantly reminded how crappy we are by none other than WalletHub?
