For the seventh year in a row, Hawaii occupies a leading position in the National Health and Well-Being Index according to Gallup research. The ranking is based on surveys of more 115 000 adults in all 50 US states conducted by Gallup during the 2018 year.

The welfare index rates each state based on how happy people are, given their career, social and community life, financial security, and physical health.

The overall well-being in Hawaii in 2018 was 64,6 (from 100, giving second place to Wyoming with 64,2).

The lowest Gallup index (10 for the year in a row) was distinguished by West Virginia, which scored 57 points. The state ranked last in the ranking of career and social standard of living, as well as physical health.

"Aloha State" received the highest marks among all states in the categories of career, social and financial well-being and the fourth largest points in physical well-being and social life.

Meanwhile, Gallup notes that the seven-year band of happiness and health in Hawaii in 2018 was the result of a decline in the general welfare level in the country last year to 61,2 from 61,5 in 2017.

Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Utah—all states that have frequently ranked in the top 10 in recent years—rounded out the top five in 2018. Arkansas, which ranked 48th in 2017 and 2009, ranked 49th in 2018—its lowest level ever—followed by Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Gallup notes that a high level of well-being can be a blessing for businesses, including helping to increase productivity in the workplace and employee engagement.

It should be noted that not only according to the Gallup version, Hawaii is leading in the rating of happiness and health of Americans. Last year, WalletHub called Hawaii the happiest US state, taking into account such factors as the low proportion of adult depression. US News Hawaii was also named the best health care state, although the state actually ranked second (compared to Vermont) in the CNBC ranking of the best states to live in the 2018 year.
