Labor force participation is at one of the highest levels in years, but one study notes that Indiana is one of the worst states for jobs.

The new study from consumer resource WalletHub states that the nation is enjoying an unemployment rate of 4.1%. Their data, which compares the 50 states across 34 key indicators ranging from employment growth to median annual income and even commute times, shows that New Hampshire is the best state for jobs. West Virginia ranks 50th.

But Indiana was near the bottom, at 48th. Michigan did significantly better, at 17th, Ohio finished 31st.

I’m waving the BS flag. Cost of living is not taken into account. Also, the impact of illegals.
