Indiana included on list of ‘America’s 10 worst states to live and work in’
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indiana was included on a list of “America’s 10 worst states to live and work in.”
CNBC placed Indiana as the 7th worst state to live and in and said “With fewer than 10 licensed childcare facilities per 100,000 residents, the Hoosier State is making it hard for some families to fully participate in the workforce. It is the second-worst figure in the nation (behind Louisiana), according to the advocacy group Child Care Aware. Protections against discrimination under state law are limited as well.”
Indiana was given a life, health, and inclusion score of 113 out of 350 points by CNBC, which is the equivalent of a D- on their scale.
Indiana’s crime rate was listed as a strength. Childcare and inclusiveness were listed as weaknesses.
