It does have the record for most s, but it's tied with Massachusetts

As someone who was born and raised in Mississippi, I can explain why it's a shithole. First off, in terms of economic resources....Mississippi doesn't really have any. With agriculture being the dominant industry, and tourism behind that, there is not alot of incentive for outside investment. If you want any semblance of good pay there, you have to work the farms, or you go into tourism. The fishing industry used to be big...but the 2011 oil spill absolutely devastated the local industry. It still exists, but it's a far cry from what it once was. As most buyers started contracting international or other states to fill seafood demand for fish. It didn't help that during the 2005 hurricane katrina the gulf coast got hit really hard with damage. Even almost 20 years later, they still never fully recovered. The event caused alot of crime to break out too as alot of people lost their source of income and housing. To make it all worse, 2008's housing crash put alot of Mississippians in even more peril. Trailer parks for low income poverished households started shutting down. People with investment in their own homes lost everything. The lack of incentive economically for the rest of the country to invest in the state created a excess of fees and costs for basic infrastructure. Things like school funding, bridge maintenance, and power/water infrastructure began to collapse. Leaving much of the state in complete disrepair. It doesnt take long to find roads and bridges that havent been maintained or used in years just right off the main highways and interstates. With a lack of funding from the federal government, school performance began to drop. Increasing illiteracy rates by a huge margin. The lack of jobs and affordable housing pressures alot of people to go into criminal activity. Drug and human trafficking are common along the coastal interstate. My father works for MDOT, so i saw first hand how bad it can get. Typically obesity in america is caused by undereducation about nutritional health along with the expensive nature of sourcing healthy foods. Leading to a common unhealthy lifestyle for the poor and impoverished that make the bulk of the population. Domestic abuse and violence occur frequently especially in the rural and coastal areas. There still exist sundown towns in some parts of the state, which are extremely racial towns towards minorities such as african americans, but the police are largely underfunded and corrupt in the state as well so im not surprised. the south has always struggled desperately with systemic racism. Much more then most of the country. With a lack of a future the vast majority of those who can afford it flee the state. Like I did hoping to find better opportunities elsewhere. Mississippi is a testament to what corruption, systemic problems, and gross underfunding can and will do to the rest of the country if things dont change.

Most of these maps are inaccurate, which is not incorrect, just inaccurate. What source data was used? What methods were used? Is everyone aware of the limitations of the data, such as self-reporting? People lie, so that needs to be backed up with additional information from health providers, which isn't allowed here due to HIPPA laws?

The reason why the minimum wage is so high is because the voters there demanded it. In turn, businesses had to raise prices to pay their workers that wage and inflation causes them to pay more for the goods they sell, so that's passed on to the consumer. Trickle down effect. Most of those voters come out of King, Pierce, and Thurston Counties, who never look at the long term implications, but just want what they want in the short sighted term. The local governments also figure that people are "making more money" and raise taxes on everything. It does nothing, but drive people homeless and destitute or away from that state. You can blame the uneducated voters and politicians of that state for its condition. It's only getting worse. Good luck.

I’m actually a bit surprised, most of the people in MN living in average homes make usually 100k+ edit: yes, ik that the map shows the amount NEEDED to afford a house

Lower minimum wage doesn’t mean lower standard of living. For example, yeah Texas has a lower minimum wage but it’s ten times cheaper to live in Texas than California.

@jamesbrown9721

Ай бұрын

The cheaper parts of Texas aren't where the jobs are. The jobs are in places like Austin & Dallas where the cost of living exceeds that of many small Californian cities. But minimum wage workers would still be making the low Texas rate in Austin, whereas they'd be making a high California minimum wage in Fresno where everything including housing is cheaper than Austin & Dallas. If a minimum wage worker lived in San Francisco or on the coast, that would be different because housing costs are thru the roof. But every community isn't expensive in California

The common ancestry map at 2:30 is unfortunately highly misleading because it relies on self reporting. Unfortunately my fellow Americans have an extremely poor understanding of this subject and many believe that having 1 or 2 ancestors from a place means that’s what you are. Like most things it is more complicated. Most Americans are a general mix of multiple different heritages with a strong bias towards the British isles. ( England, Scotland, Wales)

@penguinslippers

I agree, until I started doing family history I had no idea where my ancestors came from. I have taken DNA ancestry tests, and while I have ~30% British Isles, I also have more Norway, Denmark, and Sweden totaling to ~50%. Also the Midwest is way more than just Germanic orgin.

being from Mississippi I will say that all of the large urban areas are terrible, the north is significantly worse than the south. The coast is where all the industry is and if you don't live next to the south or a city you usually drive to a different state to work.

Going back to literacy while yes ny, ca,fl,tx lack English they compensate for in their Spanish speaking citizens not making these states illiterate an alternative literacy preferred here. Also while I note this I’m not arguing about political standing in these 4 states it’s important understanding state & federal policy/law and to note push and pull factor for Spanish speaking people such as ny & ca having diversity heavily praised and celebrated where it’s not as prevalent in the other 48 states and NY, FL &CA Have a large tourist population to consider for immigration influences TX is an exception as it was once part of Mexico and geographically speaking in its proximity to Mexico why the that may be the case

I'm pretty sure it's the worst big city too because the highways are dangerous for people and cars, our public transportation is underfunded, you can't walk without almost getting hit by a car, can't drive without almost getting hit by a car, and there's no jobs unless you're in construction, medical, or legal.

It’s better to rank cities by their metro area population rather than the city limits, because it measures the actual built up area around it which is what matters.

The Mexican ancestry in the Southwest has nothing to do with it being a former Mexican territory. All these states combined had less than 1 million population before the Mexican-American war. The high ancestry is almost entirely from legal, illegal immigration and their decendants.

Okay, a few thing of note. The Federal Drug Association determines what ranks as obese. And they change it depending on what they want the stats to say. That it not to say that it is not a problem though. Next, regarding Mississippi, from 1876-1988 it had Democratic Governors. Since 2004 it has been Republican Governors. Since then The overall crime rate has been slowly going down and so has the unemployment rate. It takes a long time to get the population of a state up to par on schooling and such. By the way, this is just from a quick search for stats. I'm not an expert. But America is a great political experiment. Search for states with the best stats regarding what is most important to you, then check there political control history and see what works for what you like. Great Video! ;-}}

In the USA the lowest wage is 7,25$/hour, which is the salary of a beginner engineer in Hungary (without taxes). In my first job, I earned approximately 2$/hour as a farmworker for hard physical work, when I was 14. Also the price limit isn't lower than in the USA. But in Hungary there is a major preference, which is the free healthcare system. (Which is not free, because you pay 18% taxes, if you are upon 25 and don't have 3 or more children.)

About the comment about Alaska having a lot of crime, the crime rate of a state is based on population so naturally the states with the smallest population have the most crime, since one incident can raise the crime rate a lot.
