Well-Being Index Stuck at 2010 Low

The well-being index is based off of 6 different things, life evaluation, emotional health, physical health, healthy behavior, work environment, and basic access to things like food and shelter. The biggest "hit" comes from the healthy behavior component. t was said that “significantly fewer Americans exercised for at least 30 minutes three or more days per week in November (50.5%) than did in May (53.6%).” For people that earn less than $1,000 a month, their well being has decreased the most.

  1. This is a very interesting article regarding the well being of our nation. In the visual that is given, it is clearly evident that the lower a person's income then the lower their well being. What is a little bit more of a mystery is the fact that people who earn less than $1,000 a month appeared to have the most tremendous drop in well being.
