CNBC released a new study ranking the ten worst states to live in 2022.
In conducting their study, they state there are more jobs available than employees to fill current openings.
They stated, “Our Life, Health and Inclusion category considers factors such as crime rates, environmental quality, and health care. For the first time in 2022, we also consider the availability of childcare, which the U.S. Chamber of Commerce found is a major obstacle for parents seeking to reenter the workforce.”
Out of the ten states on the list, Tennessee comes in at number nine with a health and inclusive score of 108 out of 325.
In talking about Tennessee, they shared, “The Volunteer State has notched some impressive economic development victories lately —like a major Ford electric vehicle facility — gaining lots of new residents in the process. But those workers are moving to a state that is chipping away at inclusiveness. The state has passed a series of laws aimed at the LGBTQ community, including a transgender sports bill this year that the Human Rights Campaign calls ‘discriminatory, unfair, and unnecessary.’”

As a Tennessean, I find it a badge of honor to be on this list. Why are so many folks fleeing Chicago and California for the awful state of Tennessee?
Is this a joke? Why bother putting this b.s.vpropaganda list on this site? None sense; pathetic. Do better.
Truth! Everyone raves about low taxes and how we stay within our state budget. But the only reason TN can do that is because we collect big-time welfare from the federal gov’t., specifically the northeastern states like NY, NJ, MA, and CT. Here in Williamson County, we can’t keep teachers, because the pay is obscenely low and we treat them like crap. And over half the community seems to desire a theocracy — vanilla taliban, if you will. Hell, we have white supremacists openly shouting bigotry in the Franklin town square and no one seems to care. My children are leaving the state next year for college and plan to never return. We’re hoping to be not far behind.
make sure you get the full picture and dont have such a small worldview: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/13/americas-top-states-for-business-2022-the-full-rankings.html
Truth. We don’t need your kind here bro. Came from cali to shelter from their oppressive bs of tolerance and inclusion bs. TN has been welcoming to this brown racist mofo. Now Scram!
Liar
Liar
Pants on fire, Looney Lib!
I live in Williamson County and none of what you say is true.
People love living here.
Tennessee is #30 on per capita receiving of welfare aid. Alaska, New York and Mass are the 3 largest. You should move to one of those 3 to get your check. https://www.statsamerica.org/sip/rank_list.aspx?rank_label=censgovtre_exp_1_c&item_in=040
It’s obvious that this is a democrat hit piece. Enough with your inclusion agenda Tennessee is one of the most beautiful, friendly, and economically prosperous states in the Union much more than most red states.
Yes, it is!
Thank you for speaking the trurh.
Good thing that study has TN in top 10 overall! Small piece to leave out https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/13/americas-top-states-for-business-2022-the-full-rankings.html
What an edited piece of dishonesty if I’ve ever seen one. If you click on this actual study, Tennessee is #6 overall for best states to live in. Yes, we’re 9 worst in the health and inclusion category which does not make us one of the worst states to live in. The entire list in the article is misleading. Doesn’t anyone edit this stuff or check sources?
The commenters taking issue with this article obviously don’t get out much. Tennessee is beautiful and the climate is great, but the Republicans have made it a social sh**hole. As for friendly people, yes, provided you are white, Christian and straight. Others need not apply.
Untrue.
Your statements are racist.
