Experts who study the brain say one thing that can have a big influence on how we feel about life is where we choose to live.
In other words, were we live impacts our happiness.
That's why we were pleased to see a new WalletHub.com study that examined the 50 states across 31 key metrics -- ranging from depression rates to sports participation rates to income growth.
When the dust settled, Nebraska was found to be one of America's happiest states in 2019, coming in a No. 9 overall.
Nebraska's ranking is better than that of any of its neighboring states -- or any other state on the Plains (unless you consider Minnesota a Plains state).
Sure, we've had our share of flooding, a soft farm economy, and continued issues with brain drain. But overall, Nebraskans keep their heads up and stick together -- in all kinds of weather.
So c'mon. Get happy.
