What are people thankful for this Thanksgiving? A wide variety of things, according to Facebook.

The Facebook Data Science team compiled “anonymized, aggregate data” from the status updates of users in the United States — drawing from entries that participated in a status challenge asking friends and families to share what they are most thankful for.

In the data gathered — listed overall and by gender — it appears people were most thankful for other people. Looking at the data as a whole, overall users listed they were thankful for were “friends,” followed by “family” at number two, and “friends and family” at number four. “Health” and “job” rounded out the top five.

When broken down by gender, Facebook discovered that 90 percent of users who participated in the challenge identified as female. Categories of people (colored as blue in the charts) again shined through as the object of thanks in status updates. Despite the overall female skew of the data, the team clarified that it was “unlikely that women are actually more grateful than men.”

While the female-focused data proved to be a close contest for a winner, data collected from users identifying as male turned out to be a landslide. A large majority of men listed they were grateful for their wives more than anything else.

The data team also broke down the results by state, showing what the majority of users in each state said they were most thankful for. While several states were thankful for things such as sunsets, electricity, God and rain, social media also made a strong showing, with YouTube winning the hearts of Californians and Virginians.
