These are America’s 10 worst states to live and work in

With nearly twice as many job openings nationwide as there are workers available to fill them, companies are setting up shop where the workers are.Each year, as part of our overall assessment of state business climates, CNBC's America's Top States for Business study considers how welcoming each state is to workers and their families.Life, Health and Inclusion is one of the study's ten categories of competitiveness. And this year, with the nationwide worker shortage so severe, the category is taking on increased importance in our methodology.We consider multiple quality of life factors, including crime rates, environmental quality, and health care. We also look at the quality and availability of childcare, which is one of the most important factors in getting parents back into the workforce.Casting the widest possible net for workers means not turning anyone away. So we consider inclusiveness in state laws by measuring protections against discrimination, as well as voting rights. And with surveys showing a substantial percentage of women considering abortion restrictions when making a choice of where to live in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights are part of this year's equation as well.As North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, a Democrat, told CNBC after being named the No. 1 State for 2023, he is worried about gains that southern states have made to become economic powerhouses in recent decades. "You still see people going to Florida and Texas, but you begin to see deterioration over time. Site selectors will tell you these issues matter when it comes time for businesses to make tough decisions."Some states are putting out the welcome mat to attract the biggest, happiest, and most diverse workforce — America's Best States to Live and Work In. These are not those states. By the numbers, these are America's worst states to live and work in for 2023.

10. Florida

Ron DeSantis reacts after signing HB 7, the Individual Freedom bill, also dubbed the "Stop Woke Act," at Mater Academy Charter Middle/High School in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, on April 22, 2022.Daniel A. Varela | Miami Herald | Getty ImagesFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis hopes to ride his "War on Woke" to the White House, but it is not winning his state points for quality of life. Supporters of the state's "Stop WOKE Act", which DeSantis signed into law in 2022, say it protects employees from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that DeSantis says are toxic. But many companies consider DEI an economic imperative, and courts have struck down parts of the law. The recent Supreme Court decision on affirmative action in higher education, however, is expected to lead to new legal challenges related to DEI programs in the corporate world.Florida is also one of the most difficult states to vote in, according to researchers at Northern Illinois University. DeSantis argues that none of this is stopping huge numbers of people from moving to Florida, and he has a point. The state leads the nation in just about every measure of migration. But rated strictly on Life, Health and Inclusion, the Sunshine State can be a dreary place.2023 Life, Health & Inclusion Score: 129 out of 350 points (Top States Grade: D)Strengths: Air Quality, Childcare, Worker ProtectionsWeaknesses: Inclusiveness, Reproductive Rights

9. Arkansas

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders blamed the crime problem on lax penalties, as well as prison overcrowding that is forcing the state's prison system to release some violent offenders before they complete their entire sentences. In April, she signed legislation to stiffen penalties, curtail early releases, and fund new prison space. But crime is just one of the Natural State's problems. Another is health care, with, for example, just 42 dentists for every 100,000 residents, according to the United Health Foundation.2023 Life, Health & Inclusion Score: 118 out of 350 points (Top States Grade: D-)Strengths: Childcare, Air QualityWeaknesses: Crime, Inclusiveness, Reproductive Rights, Health Care

Or another law struck down by a federal judge in 2021 that would have required businesses to post a warning sign on restrooms where transgender people are allowed. But plenty of other laws have survived, like a transgender youth sports ban, and laws that provide religious exemptions allowing health care and child welfare professionals to deny service to transgender people.2023 Life, Health & Inclusion Score: 115 out of 350 points (Top States Grade: D-)Strengths: Childcare, Air QualityWeaknesses: Inclusiveness, Crime, Voting Rights

In 2019, the state became the first to enact a so-called "trigger law," which went into effect moments after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. The law, one of the strictest in the nation, bans all abortions except in the case of a medical emergency, which the abortion provider must prove.

3. Louisiana

State lawmakers have begun trying to remedy that, approving $44 million in new funding in the final hours of the 2023 legislative session, quickly signed into law by Gov. John Bel Edwards. Louisiana won't solve its childcare problem overnight, but the new funding is a down payment on an improvement in the Pelican State's poor quality of life.2023 Life, Health & Inclusion Score: 76 out of 350 points (Top States Grade: F)Strengths: No metrics in the top 25Weaknesses: Child Care, Crime, Reproductive Rights

The Sooner State's 1910 abortion ban remains among the strictest in the nation, even after its state supreme court struck down some parts of it, like the provision that required a medical emergency to justify an abortion. The law makes performing an abortion a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, unless the procedure is necessary to preserve the mother's life.2023 Life, Health & Inclusion Score: 75 out of 350 points (Top States Grade: F)Strength: Air QualityWeaknesses: Reproductive Rights, Health, Voting Rights

It depends on how you look at it. With the nation's highest percentage of people without health insurance and the second lowest number of primary care physicians per capita, all those new Texans are arriving to find a dismal health care system. Texas has the nation's thirteenth-highest violent crime rate, and it ranks thirty seventh for licensed childcare facilities per capita.The Lone Star State keeps hacking away at inclusiveness, with laws targeting the LGBTQ+ population, voting rights, and the nation's strictest abortion ban. Yes, there are enormous economic opportunities in Texas, and it is attracting people from far and wide. But this state also has some Texas-sized issues when it comes to life, health and inclusion. And it is one of the reasons that the state fell out of the overall top five for the first time in the 16-year history of CNBC's rankings.2023 Life, Health & Inclusion Score: 53 out of 350 points (Top States Grade: F)Strengths: No metrics in the top 25Weaknesses: Reproductive Rights, Health, Voting Rights, Worker Protections, Inclusiveness Source link Read the full article

Roe V. Wade & a rant

Our so-called president, Donald Trump, is threatening the lives of millions of American women by saying he is willing to ax Roe V. Wade*, the very law that has helped thousands of women since it began.

This has to stop. He is willing to put the lives of women and even some children in jeopardy simply bc the man has no concept of life, liberty or even justice for the system, which he has clearly stated multiple times since the day he started running. He is willing to take Roe V. Wade from women like the children he's taking from the Asylum seeker on the Mexico/US border. He has no sympathy for anyone. He will turn this country into a war zone, into a third world country if he keeps this stuff up. He needs to be impeached. HE NEEDS TO GO.

[saintlevrant]

I read up on the RoeV.Wade shit, and well...

[Rant about politics ahead. Do not keep reading if that makes you uncomfortable. <3]

How tf they gon take back the right for a person to choose what they do with their body?? Actually, why they even had to have a ruling for RoeV.Wade in the first place? A person should be allowed to do whatever they want with their body.

And how them crust ass old bitches in the S.Court gon speak for the whole US? Them hoes quite literally belong in assisted living.

They don’t understand what the youth of America needs; they think rates will go down if they take it away?? No. Either some people are going to attempt it illegally or the foster homes and adoption housings are gonna become overcrowded.

See. This is why America is basically at the bottom of the food chain.

Rather than progressing, we're regressing, and we're literally trash.

Beyond the Supreme Court: the New Abortion Rights Fight

Please join us on Saturday November 6th at 11:30 AM Pacific time for a timely women-only forum and discussion with feminist activists: "Beyond the Supreme Court: the New Abortion Rights Fight."

Tickets are $5 with some free tickets available at eventbrite. Women have always had and will continue to have abortions. The Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision of 1973, though limited from a feminist perspective, was a great defeat for anti-abortion forces. Those forces have been hard at work chipping away at our right as women to control our reproductive capacity ever since. It seems likely the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade this term. If that happens, how do we fight to keep abortion services safe and make them accessible? Featured speakers: Merle Hoffman founded one of the first abortion clinics in the U.S. in New York in 1971. She wrote a book about her experiences, Intimate Wars: The Life and Times of the Woman who Brought Abortion from the Back Alley to the Boardroom, she edited a feminist quarterly on reproductive rights for more than a decade, and formed the Choices Global Institute to help underserved women in the U.S. and abroad find women's health services. Kathy Scarbrough has been active in feminist and left organizations since the late 1970s. Currently, she is a member of FIST, supporter of Redstockings and co-editor of Meeting Ground Online. FIST's Feminist Forums series are interactive and organizing events. At our forums, women have an opportunity not only to hear interesting speakers on a variety of feminist topics but to meet each other, make comments, ask questions of the presenters and discuss feminist politics together. We also usually tape the events so they may be viewed later. Women in attendance are free to shut off their cameras and mute themselves, should they prefer to do so. If you prefer to remain anonymous within the group, or plan to sign in under a different name from the name you have used for registration and purchase of your ticket, please contact the organizer prior to the event. Thanks. While some of our events are open to both men and women, THIS IS A FEMALE ONLY EVENT. We ask that our male allies respect our right to meet together as women. Read the full article
