A new study from WalletHub suggests the Garden State may be one of the happiest places in the entire country.

In overall happiness, New Jersey ranked number five. Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota and Utah claimed the top four spots respectively.

Additionally, New Jersey ranked second on the topics of emotional and physical well-being.

Unfortunately, the state was also ranked as one of the worst (#47) when it came to long-term unemployment.

Two New Jersey towns with which I'm at least a bit familiar are Alpine and Camden.One is a suburb of NYC,the other of Philly. It seems to me that residents of Alpine just might be pretty happy.Residents of Camden? Not so much.

Thanks for the link. We will have to work hard to make sure our state is listed at the bottom as we don’t want any “happy” folks for either Coast moving here.

Malarkey, this is the kind of report that gets paid for and pushed by a state trying to boost its tourism.

It’s garbage.
