Read an Associated Press article in December 2009 reporting that Delaware is the 22nd happiest state in the country! People in the sunny, outdoorsy states - Louisiana (#1), Hawaii, Florida, Tenessee and Arizona - say they are the happiest Americans. Delaware ranked in the middle at #22, but that topped our neighboring states with
- Maryland - #40
- Pennsylvania - #41
- New Jersey - even unhappier at #47
- New York - the unhappiest state in the country!
Other studies that rated states on criteria ranging from availability of public land to commuting time to local taxes - quality of life and happiness tend to go hand-in-hand.
That's good news for Delaware and probably why so many people from the surrounding states are relocating to Delaware.Don't worry, BE HAPPY ... in Delaware!
