Alabama Ranked as Worst State to Live in 2017
The Yellowhammer State has earned a #1 ranking--and, for once, it has nothing to do with football. cnbc.com recently ranked the 10 worst states to live in 2017, and Alabama topped the list.
Alabama's #1 ranking is based on several factors including health and crime; however, our state's lack of inclusiveness. Alabama currently has no legal protections for minority, gay, and transgender groups, a factor that also contributed to the ranking.
Do you agree? Is Alabama the worst state to live in 2017?
