Is Georgia one of the happiest or saddest states in the US? See where GA falls on the list

Happiness can come in many forms, but it seems to be fairly elusive to many Americans. In fact, only 47% of people consider themselves “very satisfied” with their lives, which is an all time low. A new study conducted by WalletHub, assessed all 50 states using 30 key metrics related to happiness, including depression rates, income growth, and unemployment rates.

Georgia ranks better than most states in the nation, coming in at a very respectable no. 20.

Georgia even did a little better in the “emotional physical well-being” ranking no. 18, while coming in no. 30 for community and environment.
