Dear All One Family:
This is the email sent me by my baby sis...thanks sis...just in time. My current state residence of 20 plus years isn't listed in the top ten either direction...that doesn't mean that it isn't rated. I believe it is...yet I believe it would be rated as one that has growing tax increases and low employment rates and perhaps listed high on the unhappiest scale...just my thoughts. Hope I am wrong.
Be Blessed All
Love, Light and Peace

No. 1 Happiest: Nebraska
The Cornhusker State, Main Street Happiness Index's overall top finisher, has the 2nd overall lowest number of foreclosures (only 1 in every 25,187 homes). It also has a low 4.2% unemployment rate and a very low percentage of annual non-mortgage debt.
No. 2 Happiest: Iowa
The Hawkeye State might have earned the top spot as the most financially happy state were it not for its higher foreclosure rate (compared to its 4th and 5th place finishes in the debt and unemployment rankings)
No. 3 Happiest: Kansas
The Sunflower State performed well across the board with decently low foreclosure and unemployment rates and 6th overall placement in the non-mortgage debt category.
No. 4 Happiest: Hawaii
The Aloha State welcomed slightly lower than average unemployment and foreclosure rates but earned the #1 spot in lowest non-mortgage debt as a percentage of annual income with an extremely frugal 24.9%
No. 5 Happiest: Louisiana
The Pelican State also has a slightly higher than average percentage of debt and a relatively low unemployment rate.
No. 6 Happiest: Oklahoma
The Sooner State settled in with very middle-of-the-pack numbers on debt and foreclosure but also experiences relatively low unemployment.
No. 7 Happiest: Wyoming
The Equality State has the lowest unemployment rate (3.9%) which helped it earn this high ranking. Its 42nd overall finish in the debt percentage category held it back.
No. 8 Happiest: South Dakota
The Mount Rushmore State continued in the tradition of rural populations with high debt but managed the 4th lowest unemployment and the 4th lowest foreclosure rates.
No. 9 Happiest: West Virginia
The Mountain State has one of the highest percentages of debt but conversely experiences very few foreclosures.
No. 10 Happiest: Wisconsin
The Badger state was 2nd overall in lowest debt percentage and earned average scores in its unemployment and foreclosure rates.
