North Dakota 11th Best Place To Work In U.S.
What are the factors that make for a decent work environment and how do the conditions of work vary in different parts of the United States? To address these and similarly important questions in a clear and accessible way, we have developed a new approach for measuring the work environment on a state-by state basis throughout the United States (including the District of Columbia) – the Work Environment Index (WEI). This is the first installment of the WEI, and we intend to update it every year.
The WEI is a unique social indicator that brings together in one measure a range of factors that, in combination, define the quality of our working lives in the U.S. today.
The WEI examines three basic dimensions of the U.S. work environment: job opportunities, job quality and workplace fairness. We rank the 50 states and the District of Columbia according to these three categories.
Here are the state-by-state rankings. Note that North Dakota ranked #1 in job opportunities. This meshes with the super-low unemployment rates I highlighted last week.
North Dakota's economy is booming right now (though state Democrats don't want you to know that), we just need some people to come here and work.
