The biggest source of stress for Americans in 2021 is money problems, according to a recent WalletHub survey. The COVID-19 pandemic, which took first place last year, has slipped to second, which makes sense considering the progress the U.S. has made with vaccination and reopening

To determine their ranking, Wallethub compared the 50 states across 41 key indicators of stress. They looked at data like average hours worked per week, share of adults getting adequate sleep, job security, divorce rate, and crime rate.

Wallethub ranks Michigan as the 15th most stressed state.
