A recent Strib article (3/11/09 - ok, I'm a little behind here!) says that a new Gallup poll ranks MN 5th overall in health & happiness - behind only Utah, Hawaii, Wyoming & Colorado.
More specifically, MN ranked:
* 1st in physical health
* 2nd in basic access (medical care, healthy food, safe neighborhoods, etc)
* 4th in emotional health
* 17th in work quality
* 19th in healthy behavior
* 23rd in life evaluation
The state that was first in each area:
* Physical Health: Minnesota
* Basic Access: Massachusetts
* Emotional Health: Hawaii
* Work Quality: Utah
* Healthy Behavior: New Mexico
* Life Evaluation: Hawaii
I knew there was a reason I was living in a state that SNOWED on April 4th!!!
