Are you happy?

Statistically speaking, there’s a good chance you are because Kansas apparently is the country’s third-happiest state.

So says MainStreet.com in its new Happiness Index.

Nebraska ranks No. 1, and Iowa is No. 2. The Web site “suggests that the Midwest is the main source of financial happiness” nationally.

The index is “all about which states are best weathering the current economic storm,” according to the site, which looked at things like debt, employment, household income and foreclosures. The site will update the list monthly.
