Well I think I found a correlation.

A survey called the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index reveals which states are happiest. The index includes questions about six types of well-being, including overall evaluation of their lives, emotional health, physical health, healthy behaviors (such as whether a person smokes or exercises), and job satisfaction.

Interesting correlation. It's funny though that Oregon is still #18, cause I think there was a poll maybe less than a year ago placing us as the most depressed state in the US. :lol:

Hmm... lowest employment rate in the nation and Michigan's still ranked 30th. I wonder where we'd be if it wasn't for all the unemployed.
