Report: Pa. and NJ are sourpuss states

We are unhappy.

We are unhappy.

So says a new study that ranked Pennsylvania 41st and New Jersey 49th in overall happiness.

The Associated Press reports that the study found that those who live in sunny, outdoorsy states - Louisiana, Hawaii, Florida - say they're the happiest Americans,

The study published in the journal Science was based on two data sets: one on personal reports of happiness for 1.3 million Americans and the other that included quality of life measures such as population density, air quality, home prices and crime rates.

The study was conducted by economists Andrew J. Oswald of the University of Warwick in England and Stephen Wu of Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y.

While Louisiana ranked No. 1, the researchers had a caveat: Part of the happiness survey occurred before Hurricane Katrina, and part of it took place later.

Delaware, by the way, ranked 22.
