Indiana is not a very happy state, according to a new study from Wallethub.

In the study “2022’s Happiest States in America,” Wallethub ranked Indiana 37 out of 50 states.

They looked at factors ranging from the depression rate and the share of adults feeling productive to income growth and the unemployment rate.

Hawaii is considered the happiest state in the U.S. West Virginia ranked 50th.

Wallethub is a lefty setup, so clearly we cannot have the correct happiness metrics unless we live in a socialist utopia state under autocratic rulers.

As an example, “income growth” is a worthless metric since that growth can be more than gobbled up by inflation, but that metric is much higher in blue strongholds with lots of inflation drivers like high minimum wage laws… Even if the higher dollar amount doesn’t go as far in actual purchasing power.

Yep, Hawaii is one of the most socialist states in the United States. The survey is more about socialism than happiness. The wellhub fools cannot imagine anyo0ne can be happy not living under socialism. Pay them no heed whatsoever.
