I know it ain't about Atlanta specifically, but I imagine most of the data came from Atlanta workers. Never thought I'd see the day.

ATLANTA, Ga. — Georgia has come in at #1 in a rather undesirable contest: Employees in the Peach State are the unhappiest of any employees in the country, according to new research.

SelectSoftware Reviews conducted a nationwide survey evaluating each state based on wages, quit rates, commute times, working hours, injuries, paid time off and state positivity levels.

Georgia came in at dead last for happiness on the job, scoring just 29.62 on the survey, as opposed to the happiest state, which scored 69.96.

According to the survey, Georgia had the highest quit rate, ranked generally poorly for happiness across the state and deals with -- you guessed it-- hefty commute times.

To the surprise of no one, the average Georgia worker spends 28.7 minutes in the car to get to work.

Alaska came in first in part due to shorter work weeks at 31.3 hours and an average wage of $52,000. Massachusetts boasts the highest average wage of any state at $58,450. And believe it or not, New York had the longest commute of any state on the list, at an average of 33.5 minutes.

“Although many people might assume that a job is the same wherever you are, these results demonstrate the considerable impact a location can have on how workers feel about their job, whether that is due to state laws, commute times, or wages. It emphasizes the importance for employers to create environments where employees find genuine fulfillment and can thrive,” the company wrote.

I'm so used to commute stories by now that I just shrug at most of them...but this is the one I haven't gotten used to yet. Having to drive from far out + across the city is a different kind of crazy.

You dont move to Stockbridge, there is no benefit in living there, none. @Rekkapryde

Depends on what you want. It's mostly location and access. Forest Park, Riverdale, Jonesboro, the airport...all growing, all need to be supplied. If you're headed east you can hop on 138 and never touch a highway if you don't need to. Access to the farms south and east. If anything, it's underrated.

The only problem, as with most ATL metro, is schools.

I read this story last night. And I'd been contemplating getting an apartment in Buckhead around January or February 2024. That's definitely off the table now.

If this scares you then just don’t get a spot in the city at all.
