There is also another report from CNBC that lists Texas as the WORST state to live and work. Here's what they had to say...

Every year, CNBC evaluates state business climates generally and includes a list of America's Top States for Business that takes into account how friendly each state is to employees and their families.

How did they come up with their analysis? To rank the states, CNBC computed a 2023 life, health, and inclusion score. Based on the analysis, Texas's score on this measure was only 53 out of 350. By contrast, Vermont, the state that tops the list of locations to live and work, scored 327 out of 350.

According to CNBC, Texas' low score was caused by several factors including the state's largest rate of uninsured citizens, more violent crimes, fewer primary care providers per capita, a stringent ban on abortion, and laws specifically targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
