Everyone knows that Las Vegas can be a fun place to live, but what if you’re married. It might be hard to stay married in Las Vegas, but how happy are married couples in the state of Nevada? According to one article put out by Zippia, we’re not very happy!
Exactly how happy are married couples in the State of Nevada?
To determined “happiness” the survey considered the following factors:
- Depression Rate
- Household Income
- Unemployment
- Commute To & From Work
- Hours Worked
- Marriage Rate
You factor in all these things to find which state has the happiest people. Now consider the fact that married people tend to be happier to start with. With all that said, it’s sad to say that, despite all the fun we might have to offer in the state of Nevada, we are ranked #34! Even though our “Depression Rate” is a 3, we fall low on scores in the other categories.
You would think that with everything our state offers, we can’t be happier? The great outdoors, hiking trails, enjoying the lakes in both Southern and Northern Nevada? Think of all the shows, concerts. It seems like there is always something to do here. On the flipside, that might be the problem as well.
With gambling, being a 24 hour town, it sometimes is difficult to curb the urges with all that Las Vegas has to offer. As we all know, there’s no “last call” here in our great state. Sometimes that can be an issue. That alone can be one huge reason as to why being married in this state is tough.
You can be take some solace that we are “happier” than those in the state of Texas, Florida and even in the tiny state of Rhode Island! By the way, the least happiest state…Louisiana! But what states tend to be the happiest when you’re married, you might be surprised. Do yourself a favor, scroll down and see what they are for yourself!
