Abstract
This study analyzes if U.S. citizens of different races view their subjective well-being differently. Using cross sectional data from Wave IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, I find that African Americans do rate their happiness than other races, all else equal. I also find that subjective happiness is affected by income, education level, health, and number of personal relationships. These findings could be attributed to theory of relative income levels increasing individual well-being.
