According to a recent study by WalletHub, Utah ranks second (just below Hawaii) on a list of the “happiest states in America.”
Scream and howl all you want, but it’s a fact — or at least as factual as such studies can be. Maybe some guy named Wallet Hub just made it up.
Never mind. At No. 50, West Virginia is the unhappiest state. This surprises me because it’s beautiful and one of the funniest guys I know (Steve Hirzel) is from there. Arkansas is 49th and Louisiana 48th.
Before we start cheering for ourselves, we should note Utah didn’t achieve such a superior rank because of us Mormons.
