One more word about North Dakota

Not only does it have the nation's lowest unemployment rate, at 3.3 percent, but it's the second-happiest state, according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index (behind Hawaii). Actually, California, despite its 12 percent jobless rate, is ranked above average in the happiness department. West Virginia ranked dead last. From Economix:

The index is based on an average of six component indices, which reflect Americans' answers to questions about how they evaluate their lives; their emotional health; how they feel about their work environment; their physical health; the kinds of healthy behaviors they do (or don't) engage in; and how much access they have to basic necessities. Perhaps not surprisingly, given the state's fleet-footed job growth, North Dakota's score benefited most from respondents' views of their work environment.
