Today a report was released by the University of Massachusetts that lists the best states to work in. They took several factors into consideration, including job opportunities, job quality, and workplace fairness. As I did with the study of how smart each state is a few weeks ago, I highlighted each state in red or blue based on how they voted in the last election. Once again, you can interpret this as you wish.
