What is it?
This is a statistic that shows that West Virginia is the unhappiest state in the United States.
Is this a fair judgement call?
I feel that with what was used in the statistic, that this may be a fair call, but they don't see what is in the state as fun.
Do YOU feel super unhappy here?
Not really. The only things that would make me feel unhappy would be personal, and not related with where I live.
What can the government or us as citizens do to impove conditions?
I feel that with what is being used as a statistic, there isn't much, unless the government gave everyone that works $20,000.

Even though they have legitimate statistics, its still impossible to call one state "less happy" than another state. Sure its bad to have a 33% obesity rating, but that physical shape is not a direct indication of happiness. Sure, it probably is a sign, but definitly not a direct indication.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, statistics aren't everything.
