It’s been a little while since we’ve reported on Tennessee’s latest list-topping. But that ends now.
A Gallup poll released this week — the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, to be exact — names Tennessee as one of the top 10 unhappiest states.
The index takes into account these factors: emotional health, life evaluation, work environment, physical health, healthy behaviors and basic access. The Huffington Post does a nice job breaking down how each category was analyzed.
But let’s look on the bright side: Tennessee doesn’t fall in the top spot (or bottom spot?) this time. Here are the 10 states rounding out the unhappiest in the nation.
- West Virginia
- Kentucky
- Mississippi
- Delaware
- Ohio
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Missouri
- Florida
- Tennessee
As for the happiest?
- Hawaii
- North Dakota
- Minnesota
- Utah
- Alaska
- Colorado
- Kansas
- Nebraska
- New Hampshire
- Montana
