How did Indiana rank in a new survey? The United States is like a patchwork quilt of 50 states, each with its own vibe and job opportunities. But choosing where to put down roots can be pretty overwhelming, especially when you’ve got to consider stuff like money, living costs, housing prices, and just overall happiness.

Softworks took on the challenge of ranking all 50 states by diving into data on wages, cost of living, rent and home prices, and mood. They pulled information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the United States Census Bureau, and even surveyed the folks living in these states.

Once they crunched the numbers and gave each factor its due, Softworks revealed their list of the top 10 states that offer the best living and working experiences in the USA.
