'Last Friday, CNBC released a ranking of 'America’s 10 worst states to live and work in for 2023.' It is just as out of touch as one may expect.' -Jack_Elbaum
The list is filled exclusively with red states, including Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina, and, at the very bottom, Texas.This is quite odd, as data show those states are actually where more people are moving than anywhere else. In 2022, 318,000 more people moved into Florida than moved out, which is a greater number than any other state. Second in terms of net in-migration was Texas, where more than 230,000 people moved in than out.
The question is obvious: Why would so many people be scrambling to move to such terrible places? The answer is equally clear: Those states are not actually terrible. People don’t usually act so flagrantly against their self-interest, which is an indication that CNBC’s list is incredibly flawed — almost certainly for political reasons.
Instead, CNBC uses indicators such as “voting rights,” “reproductive rights,” and “inclusiveness” as the metrics by which it determines which states are desirable. These, of course, are all euphemisms designed to describe how liberal or conservative a state is — particularly on cultural matters. The more liberal the state is, the better ranking CNBC will award it. The more conservative it is, the worse ranking it will receive.
