Minnesota Named ‘Least Stressed State’ of 2020
Given all that we're going through right now, this has even more meaning -- as Minnesota has been named the 'Least Stressed State' for 2020 by the number crunchers at WalletHub.
They analyzed data across 41 points of focus to determine which states handle stress the best -- looking at things like health, money, work, and family-related stress. So everything from income and job security to divorce rates and childcare issues.
In addition, according to a recent WalletHub survey, coronavirus has become the biggest source of stress for Americans in 2020.
