Texas is the second-worst state to live in but the fifth-best state for business, according to a new report.
Texas was named the second-worst state to live in but the fifth-best state for business by a new report."Top States for Business" study found that Texas scored just 72 out of a possible 325 points in the"Life, Health and Inclusion" category, earning an"F" grade.
CNBC said quality of life was given"particular attention" in this year's study and considered factors like crime rates, environmental quality and health care. For the first time in 2022, the availability of childcare was also a factor. The inclusiveness of state laws, including protections against discrimination and voting rights, was also among the factors."Skilled workers are still flocking to Texas despite longstanding quality of life issues," CNBC wrote.
None of Texas' quality of life metrics were in the top 50 percent of U.S. states. The CNBC study found weaknesses in the state's childcare, health resources, inclusiveness and voting rights. Arizona ranked as the worst state to live in, according to study found. Texas was followed by Oklahoma, South Carolina and Missouri, respectively. Neighboring Louisiana and New Mexico were also in the top 10 worst states to live in. The top three states to live in were Vermont, Maine and Hawaii, respectively.
