Not everybody can go to work with a smile on his or her face. However, there are places in America where that actually is the case.

CareerBliss.com recently teamed up with Forbes to compile a list of the happiest and unhappiest cities for workers.

So, where in this great country of ours can you find the city with happiest workers? If you said Dayton, Ohio and Knoxville, Tennessee, then give yourself a lollipop because you win. Those two metropolises tied for the top spot. At the other end of the spectrum is Boulder, Colorado. The beautiful scenery clearly isn't enough for people earning their paychecks there.
