WalletHub’s “2024 Happiest States in America” report, released Monday, ranks Maryland as the second happiest state in the United States.
To determine happiness, WalletHub compared states across three key dimensions: well-being, work environment, and community, using 30 metrics.
Maryland ranked in the top five for several metrics, including the fourth-lowest suicide rate and an unemployment rate of 2.9%.
Maryland leads the nation in households earning over $75,000, and its residents rank third in job satisfaction and motivation.
A panel of experts, including Peter Harms, a professor at the University of Alabama, answered questions about happiness. Harms noted, “Money doesn’t bring happiness, but a lack of money brings unhappiness.”
Wondering which state is the happiest? Hawaii ranked number one.
