Survey Finds Those Over 60 Have The Most Joy In U.S.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- If you had to pick a time in life when you think people are most joyful, what age would you choose?

A survey of Americans shows that people with the greatest amount of joy are older, in every state.

The survey showed people over 60 had a 7.2 out of 10 "joy rating."

That compared with 6.8 for 18- to 29-year-olds, and 6.6 for people 45 to 60 years old.

However, of the entire pool of those surveyed, 87% said that the world could stand to have more joy in it.
