So Much For All That Talk That The Bakken Is Destroying North Dakota

A big "thank you" to Don who sent me this link; I certainly would not have seen it. The Consumerist is reporting:
If you’re living in North or South Dakota right now, you’ve probably got a big ol’ grin on your satisfied face. And well you should, as a new study from Gallup says the Dakotas top the list of states with the highest well-being figures in the nation for 2013.
In case the link is broken in the future, here are the top 10 and the bottom 10:
The Top 10
1. North Dakota: 70.4
2. South Dakota: 70.0
3. Nebraska: 69.7

6. Vermont: 69.1
7. Colorado:68.9
8. Hawaii: 68.4
9. Washington: 68.3
