I don't know about you, but for me whenever I visit a new city I like to hear that it's a happy place. As opposed to hearing that a city is miserable. Just gives you a different vibe when you hear that a city is down and out.

A survey is out by Wallethub that lists the "happiest" cities in America, and this New Jersey city made the Top 50.

 

 

According to WalletHub, Jersey City, New Jersey, was ranked 31st in their "Happiest City List".

"In order to determine the happiest cities in America, WalletHub compared 182 of the largest cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across three key dimensions: 1) Emotional & Physical Well-Being, 2) Income & Employment and 3) Community & Environment."

 

Jersey City is one of those places in New Jersey that has really changed over the years. Sitting right across the Hudson River from Manhattan, it has incredible views of the New York City skyline and has become a major part of the New York metropolitan area.

 

In Jersey City today, you’ll find busy neighborhoods, restaurants, shops, parks, and a growing waterfront filled with people who call Jersey City home.

Jersey City has become one of New Jersey’s best-known cities, and it’s definitely a place where you can see the old Jersey meeting the new Jersey.

 

I have always enjoyed visiting Jersey City, and it's the spot to head to to visit the Statue of Liberty. Lots of great places to eat in Jersey City as well. The views along the Hudson River are breathtaking as well.
