What about the states on top of Texas? Whatever they are lol. What about Tennessee as a gateway state?
I can't mess with states that don't have legalized marijuana, banned gay marriage (i know it got repealed but just look at all the counties still throwing fits) and little to no women's health clinics. God speed to those who can deal with that retrograde shit though.
By Jacir Go To PostYea I see what your saying. Although I do want/need my universal healthcare.Where are you from?
Well I'm in nyc right now. I decided that im ready to go out of state for college if u get accepted to any of them that are. However, why I'm currently thinking about all this is because the apartment building is being sold and they said everybody has until end of September to decide if staying or paying higher rent is a good idea. I have no control where the family is moving to since we are not staying and are already packing our stuff.

By D'Moris Russell Go To PostWeren't you following DY's escape route to Hawaii?
Yeah I got plans to. Epic amount of planning for that though and I don't expect it to even be a remote possibility until a min of like 5 years from now. That study got Hawaii last for jobs. Ideally I'd like to find a job where I can work remotely. Get paid mainland $$$ while living in Hawaii.
Or come up with my own business that I can run with an internet connection.
Although tbh my trip to SD got me thinking about that spot. I've wanted to move there way before Hawaii...despite never stepping foot in the city. But yalls thirst for water in Cali is real and depressing.
If the money right I'd go fucking Utah, shit.
my liberal ideals ain't gone mitigate my practical cashflow.
once I'm established and getting paid while I sleep will I ascend into my personal utopia.

By reilo Go To PostOregon #2? Would love to know the reasoning... Our incomes are higher than the national average whereas cost of living is not.
Oregon. Cost of living and taxes were also leading factors in why Oregon finished as the second-worst state for making a living, dropping 11 places in the 50-state ranking from last year. The cost of living in Oregon is not as high as in Hawaii, but it is 28.5 percent higher than the national average. Wages are only a little above of the national average, so they don't adequately compensate for the high cost of living and taxes. The estimate of state tax on average income in Oregon is $3,981.50. On top of those economic disadvantages, Oregon also had one of the highest rates of workplace safety incidents. In March 2015, Oregon noted that there was a slight rise in worker fatalities in 2014 from the previous year.
Here was their methodology for the list:
Average wages. Average annual wage data is from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
State tax rates. MoneyRates analyzed the state tax information collected by the research group Tax Foundation.
Cost of living. Data was sourced from the Council for Community and Economic Research’s Cost of Living Index.
The unemployment rate. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Incidents of workplace illness, injuries and fatalities. This workplace safety data is from the BLS, which sourced data from employer reports to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses.
But Oregon has no sales tax, which means you save 10% on everything you purchase. Curious if they took that into account. Maybe I'm looking it from living in Portland, but I bet Portland has different averages than that.

Eastern Oregon probably screws things up.
By db Go To PostEastern Oregon probably screws things up.You mean the desert?
Illinois. Last year Illinois just missed making the top 10, but this year it surged all the way to No. 5. The key to its high ranking is that Illinois has relatively high wages combined with a reasonable tax rate and cost of living. The one negative is that the 6 percent unemployment rate in the state is still above the national average
Not gonna front:
Was expecting Cali to be higher on that list. Yo Smokey, post the reasons for the placement.
Edit:
Ya think Detroit would fuck things up enough for Michigan to be placed on the other list 0_o. Learn somethin new erryday.

I just want get out of the northeast. Expensive and my long term budget makes me a cheàp skate on purpose. I do plan on living alone for the foreseeable future. Rent budget without other expenses is a low 300-500. Do not plan to get married any time soon. Throughout this time, starting several small businesses of my own, to get into my personal happy space. I got plans homies. Don't want any big obstacles fucking my shit.

California. Despite having one of the highest average wages in the nation, California could not overcome several negative attributes. That average wage is more than negated by high taxes and cost of living. On top of that, the unemployment rate and the frequency of workplace safety incidents are both higher in California than national average.
About DET...anecdotal. .but my sis law has worked for Ford for like the past 3 years. Makes quite a bit if money and the cost of living up there is pretty low. I'm sure the car industry turning around up there has helped a bit.
I thought about Michigan solely on applying for manufacturing jobs, mostly in the automotive industry. But idk, I'm not sure if I care enough about that place cuz I'm mostly going to go at it alone and the weather ain't enticing me.
There are other things you have to consider when looking at lists like these that aren't being factored in. For example, California, Hawaii and New York have some of the best unions in the country which results in better overall employee benefits and protection laws than states like Texas (California's paid sick leave law just started this month). Those don't seem that important when you're just looking for work, but once you start wondering when you can take your next vacation with your family and friends or catching your fifth cold this year because no one in your department wants to take a sick day off and not be paid, it starts adding up.
Then there's the matter of being black...

Then there's the matter of being black...
Hawaii has a lot of things going for it. It’s a gorgeous tropical paradise. Shockingly, marijuana isn’t legal (except on a limited basis for medical use), despite the fact that everyone seems unnaturally chill all the time. It’s also the home state of President Barack Obama, and once you look at its statistics on race, you can see why Hawaii was the first state to produce the nation’s first black president.
The most racially diverse state in the union, Hawaii is ranked by the Ann E. Casey Foundation as the best state for raising black children. The foundation based its ranking on a statistical study of socioeconomic status, access to education and home life.
Hawaii’s incarceration rate for black people is astronomically lower than the national average. With Wisconsin—one of the worst states for black Americans—locking up African Americans to the tune of 4,416 for every 100,000 black people, Hawaii is much more proportional, imprisoning 851 for every 100,000 black Hawaiians (pdf). The national average for black imprisonment is 2,290 per 100,000. No wonder the president, who’s written about some youthful indiscretions involving pot, managed to toke it and not end up with a record, unlike so many other young black men throughout the United States. Obama grew up in the right state at the right time. Also, black people in Hawaii? They’re not broke. The state has the highest black household income at $66,629.
