Not all working fathers are in the same situation.
Those who live in states with greater economic opportunity and quality of life have it better than others, says Wallethub.
Wallethub conducted a study called “2022’s Best and Worst States for Working Dads.” Indiana was ranked 23rd in that study.
Indiana ranked 23rd in economic and social well-being, 18th in child care, but 38th in both health and work-life balance for fathers.
Massachusetts was ranked #1. Louisiana was ranked the worst state for working fathers.

When did we get the 51st state?
“3. District of Columbia”
Wallethub is liberal junk, so all these ranking are made through a liberal lens and thus are largely disconnected from reality.
I’m sure fathers in Indiana are just fine without receiving free “gender affirming health care”, despite that causing Indiana to be ranked low on the list.
