News study shows Americans are at record low level of happiness

[WCCO-TV, June 22, 2020] A University of Chicago study has found a historic decrease in happiness. The school has been surveying Americans since 1972.

Only 14% of people reported feeling “very happy,” which was a sharp drop from the usual run rate. In contrast, 23% of respondents indicated that they are “not too happy.” Both findings are unprecedented.

Allina Health psychiatrist Dr. David Frenz talked with WCCO News about the study findings.
