With 87% of Americans feeling “anxious” or “very anxious” about inflation, the personal-finance website WalletHub released its report on 2022’s Happiest States in America, as well as accompanying videos and expert commentary.

To determine where Americans have the highest satisfaction with life, WalletHub compared the 50 states across 30 key indicators of happiness. The data set ranges from the depression rate and the share of adults feeling productive to income growth and the unemployment rate.

  • 2nd – % of Depressed Adults

  • 7th – Number of Work Hours
