Delaware Work Environment ranks Last in Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index

I read an interesting article this morning. It said that Delaware’s work environment ranked at the bottom of a national study, but the margin of error could always skew the results. Nonetheless, it certainly seemed interesting, and I decided to track down the study to have a look myself:

The State of Delaware overall Well-Being ranking fared far better than that of the work environment, and life evaluation was even better still.

So, basically, life is good, but going to work stinks.

Did we really need a study to conclude that?

Gallup and Healthways produce an annual report on the Well-Being of each of the 435 congressional districts in the U.S. and bi-annually on each of the 50 states and their respective cities. The massive scope of the Well-Being Index’s 1,000 interviews completed a night was intentionally designed to support this level of reporting and insight. There are specific challenges that are unique to even adjoining areas, and a simplistic national solution will not have the impact that is required to stave off the looming healthcare crisis. Using the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index as the barometer of well-being will expand the benchmark for conversations about healthcare nationwide.
