New York Ranks In The Top 10 On This Rich List

New York State just joined a pretty impressive list. Honestly, it shouldn't come as a shock for people who live here.

The World Population Review recently analyzed all of the states, and ranked them from the richest to poorest. This is determined by looking at each of the states’ poverty rates, median household incomes and their costs of living. This also analyzes each state further by looking at their education levels and life expectancies, to examine why some states are worse off than others.
