Tennessee Is The Worst State To Live In?!

Every year CNBC does a ranking of America’s top states for businesses. But as part of their decision-making process, they factor in a quality-of-life score for each state.

To determine each state’s quality-of-life score, they look at the following factors: crime rates . . . air quality . . . healthcare . . . cost and availability of childcare . . . inclusiveness of state laws . . . and reproductive rights.

Here are the five states that had the highest quality-of-life scores:

1.  Vermont . . . and it’s been the #1 state for six years in a row.  They were rated an A+ with a score of 233 out of a possible 290 points.

2.  Maine . . . 232 out of 290 points . . . A+

3.  New Jersey . . . 223 out of 290 points . . . A+

4.  Minnesota . . . 210 out of 290 points . . . A

5.  Connecticut . . . 205 out of 290 points . . . A.

And here are the states with the worst quality-of-life scores:

1.  Tennessee . . . They got an F with 64 out of a total of 290 points.  They were rated badly for crime, inclusiveness, and worker protections.

2.  Texas . . . 78 out of 290 . . . F

3.  Indiana . . . 82 out of 290 . . . F

4.  Louisiana . . . 82 out of 290 . . . F

5.  Georgia . . . 89 out of 290 . . . F
