Please be advised that Gallup and Healthways, Inc. (NASDAQ: HWAY) today
released the Gallup-Healthways Monthly U.S. Well-Being Report for
November 2009.
Well-being in the U.S., as measured by the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being
IndexTM (WBI), resumed its upward climb in November,
following two straight months of moderate declines. The WBI rose 0.2
percentage points last month to a score of 66.7, just 0.3 percentage
points shy of the record high score of 67.0 recorded in February 2008
and August 2009.
The gain was primarily driven by statistically significant increases of
0.7 percentage points in two of the WBI’s key Sub-Indices, Emotional
Health and Physical Health.
The WBI’s Work Environment Sub-Index, a measure of the satisfaction of
Americans on the job, was up slightly last month to 48.7, after falling
to that measure’s lowest recorded score of 48.1 in October. The other
Sub-Indices that comprise the WBI – Life Evaluation, Healthy Behavior
and Basic Access – experienced only modest changes in November.
