Louisiana, Hawaii and Florida home to the happiest Americans
updated 46 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - People in sunny, outdoorsy states — Louisiana, Hawaii, Florida — say they’re the happiest Americans, and researchers think they know why.
A new study comparing self-described pleasant feelings with objective measures of good living found these folks generally have reason to feel fine.
The places where people are most likely to report happiness also tend to rate high on studies comparing things like climate, crime rates, air quality and schools.
California is a sunny state. And Nevada is close to the bottom and the sun shines there over 300 days a year while Washington is above both California and Nevada and the sun shines there maybe 3 days a year.
I live in California and I'm extremely happy Couldn't imagine living anywhere else and you would have to drag me kicking and screaming out of this state.
Spent quite a bit of time in SouthEastern Louisiana a while back and there is no amount of money or false promises of 'happyness' that could persuade me to move there.
To each his/her own.
Hey there Southern Californian here, and i do second that emotion.
Happy most of the time, until i hit these posts lol
I dont agree with we are the happiest. If we were the happiest people would be so rude and grumpy and hateful and ticked off all the time. Maybe more north

I have always been happy when laying on the beach in Pensacola.

That is relaxing till you gotta go back to dealing with all the rest. The rude ticked off people. The terrible traffic. The high cost of living
South Fla is stressful and not a friendly place. I cant wait to get out of here. Hopefully by 2011 I will not be in this state
