Louisiana Ranks as Second Least Stressed State in National Study
It turns out the Sportsman's Paradise is a paradise in general. According to a Gallup study of 350,000 people across the US, Louisiana is the second least stressed state in the country.
The study found that 37.6 percent of Louisianians asked said that they felt stress the previous day. Hawaii grabbed the number one spot, with just 32.1 percent admitting stress the day before.
The pollsters did not point out any reasons for Louisiana's relatively stress-free results, such as our great hunting, delicious food or laid-back attitude.
