Yes, they are, this time according to LiveScience.com (not Forbes Magazine).
Oh, sure, you can figure Hawaii ranks number one in this ranking, what with the oceans and beaches and mountains and all the tourists coming to see what they've got but Nebraska, number 10?
From the article:
Hawaii's stellar placement was due to its scores on three well-being categories: life evaluation, emotional health and physical health.
That all seems fairly obvious, if not statistical.
But what about Missouri with our state park system and Lake of the Ozarks, etc? We came in at a lowly, second-half of the group 34. We must be grumpy people, I guess.
Meanwhile, Kansas was no. 15 while Iowa is 19. Oh, well.
At least if Missouri isn't in the "top ten", we aren't in the "bottom 10", either, thank goodness.
Looking at that "bottom 10" , check that out--neighbor Arkansas is the 4th unhappiest, at no. 47, supposedly.
Oh, well. It's like they say in the Broadway play "Avenue Q", Arkansas--"It Sucks to be You".
