Before we go any further, you are probably wondering how someone determines what qualifies as a "miserable" city. One might reason that it is based on how angry and miserable the town residents act. That might be a good gauge too, but not very scientific. RoadSnacks.net scoured data on these 168 areas that included commute times, unemployment rate, cost of living, % married, % home owners, poverty rate, and % with a college degree. They crunched the numbers and they found out that these are pretty miserable in these towns.
*I will go on record saying that I've spent some time in some of these cities and didn't feel that the people were miserable. In fact, the #1 city makes me happy whenever I visit.
