The United States National Bureau of Economic Research recently released its study which listed the nation's happiest and unhappiest cities with a population over 1 million people. The study found that (unsurprisingly!) weather is directly related to happiness as three cities known for their beaches cracked the top ten happiest cities in America. Researchers also found that some people "willingly endure less happiness in exchange for higher incomes or lower housing costs," which contributes to New York City's ranking as America's unhappiest city.
