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

Good help is hard to find. In fact, these days almost any help is hard to find."You're seeing a confluence of factors that make this a unique point in history," said Josh Wright, an executive vice president at labor market data firm Lightcast.Older workers are retiring with fewer younger people in the population to replace them. The U.S. has roughly twice as many job openings as there are workers to fill them. And because this is as much a demographic phenomenon as an economic one, Wright said workers shortages are now here to stay."I think it's only going to become worse over time in certain regions," he said.But an increasing number of states see this as an opening. They are pitching their quality of life as a reason companies should locate there."(A) quality of life that inspires people to build their business, families and lives here," one state economic development website promises."Meet our people. See our work ethic. Experience our good life," says another.But only a handful of states are truly delivering on their promises.Life, Health and Inclusion is among the ten categories of competitiveness in CNBC's annual America's Top States for Business study, and under this year's methodology, it is increasingly important in a state's overall ranking.We use hard data to measure factors including crime, environmental quality, health care and childcare in every state. We consider anti-discrimination laws and worker protections. And with surveys showing a significant percentage of women factoring reproductive rights into where they are willing to live, state abortion laws are a new metric in 2023.The study shows that some states are falling short — America's Worst States to Live and Work in. But these ten states are America's best places to live and work in 2023.

10. Connecticut

The air is pure, according to American Lung Association data, health care is plentiful, and crime is generally low. And it's Hawaii!

FG and state governments fund the procurement of meters with N100 billion naira

Prepaid power meters will be purchased thanks to a successful N100 billion fundraising campaign spearheaded by the federal and state governments. Our correspondent reported on this news made by Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu during a briefing in Ibadan, Oyo State, under the Presidential Meter Initiative (PMI) program. President Bola Tinubu's administration is working to address Nigeria's meter deficit by promoting adequate metering and promoting greater openness. Adelabu noted that many customers are unwilling to pay bills due to unsatisfactory billing methods by power distribution firms. Currently, over five million of Nigeria's twelve million electricity users are metered, with a shortage of over seven million meters. President Tinubu has established the Presidential Meter Initiative and appointed a Presidential Meeting Council to address the meter gap. The group, chaired by Adelabu and supervised by the President's Senior Advisor on Energy, aims to acquire and install at least two million meters annually over the next five years. With N100 billion available for meter purchases through state and federal resources, the government is committed to addressing this issue. “The World Bank has already issued contracts for meter procurement, with meters set to be imported and assembled locally. We are balancing international and national competitive bidding processes. Meter importation will begin before the end of the year,” he added. Adelabu highlighted the increased availability of meters, allowing Distribution Companies to sell them directly from suppliers, but acknowledged that exchange rate changes have increased meter costs from N80,000 to N120,000, emphasizing the need for continued financing.
