## Resource

New Jersey just soared to 2 on WalletHub’s happiest states list, trailing only Hawaii, thanks to record-low depression and suicide rates, strong social support, and deep emotional well-being. While it ranks lower in work environment and community vibes, the Garden State proves happiness isn’t just about scenery—it’s about mental health, relationships, and feeling loved. The top five? Hawaii, NJ, Utah, Idaho, Maryland. Bottom three? West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas. Happiness is complex—and surprisingly diverse.
