Texans & Oklahomans are Stressed-Out!

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:

1. Work-related
2. Money-related
3. Family
4. Health and Safety

Based on all that data, they found the most stressed-out states are mostly in the south:

1. Mississippi
2. Louisiana
3. New Mexico
4. West Virginia
5. Nevada
6. Arkansas
7. Alabama
8. Kentucky
9. Texas
10. Oklahoma

I mean, I guess it’s good Texas & Oklahoma aren’t number 1 & 2 on the list, right?!

The LEAST stressed-out are:

1. Minnesota
2. Utah
3. New Hampshire
4. South Dakota
5. Massachusetts
6. Iowa
7. New Jersey
8. Connecticut
9. North Dakota
10. Virginia
