Interesting list. Most of these states are highly educated, most (but not all) are blue states, and most probably have relatively low income inequality.
Which way to happy? Geographically speaking, it's the route to Hawaii, Maine or one of the clusters of blissful cities in California and Colorado. You know... those horribly blue places where those miserable liberals are supposed to live, and where everything is supposed to be all screwed up.
This is a ridiculous argument just so you know.
I don't think anyone asserts that every Californian is miserable, just that the state has some fiscal/political issues. How you conflate the two I'm not quite sure...

I wouldn't bet it's the absolute most beautiful scenery wise, but it wins on weather, hands down.

and Cali is not even on the list. Maybe too many illegals affecting the quality of life there, between crime and bankrupting the state.
And there are five states--West Virginia, Ohio , Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas--that have ranked at the bottom since 2008. This probably has a lot to do with poverty levels in those states--but more importantly, these states rank poorly on all of the factors surveyed. West Virginia is actually ranked 38th for "work environment," but 50th on everything else. Behold, the 10 least happy states in the country, ranked from happiest to least happy.

All dark red states, except Nevada. Not sure why Nevada is so unhappy.

Have you ever been to Las Vegas? That's not a happy place.
