Everyone deals with SOME stress throughout the day, whether it’s serious stuff, or stupid stuff! Well, apparently both Texas and Oklahoma are two of the top 10 most stressed-out states in the country.
Not sure that’s something we should celebrate…
WalletHub just put out a new study that ranked every state from the most stressed-out state to the least stressed-out state.
The rankings are based on 41 different factors, across four different stresses:
- Work-related
- Money-related
- Family
- Health and Safety
Based on all that data, they found the most stressed-out states are mostly in the south:
- Mississippi
- Louisiana
- New Mexico
- West Virginia
- Nevada
- Arkansas
- Alabama
- Kentucky
- Texas
- Oklahoma
I mean, I guess it’s good Texas & Oklahoma aren’t number 1 & 2 on the list, right?!
The LEAST stressed-out are:
- Minnesota
- Utah
- New Hampshire
- South Dakota
- Massachusetts
- Iowa
- New Jersey
- Connecticut
- North Dakota
- Virginia
(WalletHub.com has the full rankings for every state.)
