Hawaii Is the 8th Best State for Women

From Wallet Hub March 5, 2015

Happy Women’s History Month! With the percentage of women in public- and private-sector leadership roles increasing this past year and women outpacing men in college enrollment, the leading personal finance social network WalletHub conducted an in-depth analysis of 2015’s Best & Worst States for Women.

To find the most suitable environment for the American woman, WalletHub examined the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia across 13 key metrics. The data set ranges from median earnings for female workers to women’s preventive health care.

Women’s Quality of Life in Hawaii (1=Best, 25=Avg.):

4th – Unemployment Rate for Women

7th – % of Women Living in Poverty

4th – Share of Women-Owned Businesses

4th – Female Uninsured Rate

1st – Women’s Life Expectancy at Birth

9th – Top-Rated Women’s Hospitals Score

28th – Women’s Preventive Health Care
