Texas tops list of worst places to live and work in America, study says
While Texas landed at number six on CNBC’s yearly America’s Top States for Business study, the state scored significantly low in one category: Life, Health & Inclusion. Factors in this category include:
crime rates
environmental quality
health care
quality and availability of childcare
inclusiveness in state laws such as reproductive rights, protections against discrimination and voting rights
Texas’ low ranking in its Life, Health & Inclusion score is attributed to a lack of inclusiveness, according to CNBC, considering factors such as laws targeting the LGBTQ+ population, voting rights, and the strict abortion ban implemented statewide. Another weakness identified in the study was worker protections.
Another reason behind the ranking is the state’s current health care infrastructure, with the nation’s highest percentage of people without health insurance and the second lowest number of primary care physicians per capita, according to CNBC. Texas also ranks thirteen in the nation for having high violent crime rates.
CNBC did mention the boom in economic opportunity across the state. In the overall Top States for Business study, Texas received sixth place, with North Carolina taking the number one spot.
This comes after the Austin metropolitan, including Round Rock and Georgetown, were named the best place in the country to start a career, with factors considered including rent price affordability, employment opportunities and overall quality of life.
Sounds to me like TX is doing a great job keeping the liberal/Democrat riffraff out by not kowtowing to them.
A WIN in my book!
Keep it up TX!
Isn’t it amazing that the LSM thinks that everyone wants and needs what they are endorsing and pushing?
