A new study from the State of the Nation Project, backed by a bipartisan group of experts, asked the following question: Which state does best at ensuring the well-being of its citizens, giving them health, education and hope?
“It’s not one of the richest places per capita to live, which include Connecticut, New York and Washington DC. It’s not the world’s tech capital, California, nor is it proud and flamboyant Texas. Florida may attract retirees, but it’s not Florida either.”
“Rather, a major new study finds that the No.1 state in terms of its residents’ quality of life is Minnesota. Yes, just-a-bit-boring Minnesota. Calm, pragmatic, not-very-ideological Minnesota.”
The article… The states where life is better… by Nicholas D. Kristof, who became a columnist for The New York Times Opinion desk in 2001 and has won two Pulitzer Prizes… is a fascinating read that also talks about how overall, every state is increasingly unhappy.
