Unhappy NYC

NBC New York reports research findings that will make its viewers even crankier.

New York City was ranked the least happy city in America when adjusted for income, according to a working study, titled “Unhappy Cities,” released by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Jersey City was also one of the 10 least happy cities, according to a full data set obtained by Market Watch.

FYI, Jersey City is a mile across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan, via the Holland Tunnel. This "least happy city" ranking is unsurprising to me. I've known exactly one New York City native whose company I enjoyed, and more than a few I avoided whenever possible.
