First of all – what a really cool representation! Having students create such a map would be an excellent way to get them 'thinking' conceptually and analyzing data and then finding an interesting way to impart it to others. It would have been helpful to have a color key of some type – it's also helpful to watch more than once!
And, it appears 'happiness' occurs around most of the nation's non-work hours 😉
