My home state of Indiana ranked as the 7th worst in the nation to live and work. Florida won top honors too, coming in as the 10th worst — with a photo featuring DeSantis holding HB 7 (stop Woke Act). By the time I got to the 8th worst to live and work, Tennessee, named because of the laws passed “targeting LGBTQ+ rights”, I had this list figured out.
Indiana was sucker punched for childcare and inclusion — CNBC didn’t much like those 5 laws passed in 2023 that target trans and LGBTQ, and they obviously didn’t care for the near-total abortion ban either. Florida got a big fat “D” for a grade and Indiana got a D-. Click here if you want to check out the CNBC list of the 10 they chose to pick on.
But wait! Indiana made another CNBC list too!
CNBC named Indiana as the 13th top state for business! Florida also made that list at #8. (Nevada came in at #30.) So… the Hoosier state and Florida are at the top of the list of states for doing business — but people shouldn’t live and work in them? Whatevah! You can check out the full rankings here of top states for business according to CNBC.
As an aside… do you know who owns CNBC? Comcast does. 🙄
I have my own complaints about Indiana right now!
I couldn’t be more sick of rain and these cooler temps as we’re nearing the end of July. The Jackson County, Indiana Fair (one of the world’s largest fairs) started yesterday and rain will make a sloppy midway mess. It’s a mess here in the Ville this morning, that’s for certain.
No matter the weather or what others may say… Indiana is home for me. ❤️
