happiness economic?


Gallup polls ranks several states according to happiness. I found myself a bit bothered by the statement: "Frank Newport, Gallup's editor-in-chief, told the website 24/7 Wall St. that well-being is important because happier, healthier citizens tend to have positive social and economic impacts on the places they live."- as if happiness, to be important, needs to be tied to increased profit margins! See the MSN link here. I see that everywhere, even, ironically, in the healthcare industry.
