Is Idaho One Of The Happiest States?
In a recently released study from Gallup-Healthways, the list of the Top 10 Happiest States is out. Did Idaho make the list?
No.
The group based their results on 5 elements of "well-being." Those include, sense of purpose, social relationships, community, financial security, and physical health.
Here are the Top 10 Happiest States:
1. Hawaii
2. Alaska
3. Montana
4. Colorado
5. Wyoming
6. South Dakota
7. Minnesota
8. Utah
9. Arizona
10. California
Now, I understand why Hawaii would be there for sure, but I was a bit surprise to see Alaska, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Minnesota (I would think winter there would make them less happy).
I feel like Idaho was cheated. We have beautiful surroundings, outdoor recreation, great cost of living, friendly people, and great community. Does this list make any sense to you?
