All the gambling. Plus most jobs there rely on the tourism economy.

I am surprised that West Virginia and New Mexico are among those states with the smallest percentage of people in financial distress, what with their respective histories of having lower standards of living compared to the rest of the country.

How is Hawaii the lowest??
I have some friends that live there and most young people are really struggling to find well paying jobs. Feels like everyone works a couple in the tourist industry to get by

I believe it for Florida. My parents decided to move everyone there right after I got out of high school. Brilliant idea on their part, because it’s almost impossible to start a life there unless you already have boatloads of money or no conscience. Every time I met people my age they’d leave the state left and right. I wasn’t far behind. Brutally unforgiving place.

Just had a discussion on another thread. A significant part of TX, LA and FL issues are due to the affects of climate change. They are all in for a beating in the next 20yrs.

I thought Texas / South was much cheaper than rest of America. WTH? I’m confused.

It’s not at all clear how they are determining this, but if West Virginia and New Mexico and doing that well when they are two of the poorest states in the country, my suspicion is that these metrics are complete bullshit.

We should let Texas be their own country again for a little while so they can beg to be part of the United States for a third time. lol.

Wow, even the worst states only have 62 people in financial distress. The country is doing a lot better than I thought! (/s)
