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.

The idea that happiness is an ideal pursuit or outcome in one’s life is shallow. While there is nothing wrong with happiness and we should all enjoy those moments, there are other things that should take precedent. For instance, sacrifices and toil for one’s family, particularly the children and grandchildren. Properly preparing them for life, and hopefully a better life than you ranks higher than happiness. Serving the Lord is another ideal that should put rank happiness.

Have never met too many people from N.J. who were happy with their state...

At least during the 1960s and 1970s, almost every NJ person I had contact with, mostly very happy people, bitched and moaned about the state they were living in...

NJ is listed at #1 lowest suicide rate and #5 lowest in adult depression.

It’s also #3 lowest in divorce rate, but that might mean fewer people are marrying (which might explain why they’re so happy).
