POPSCBS: "West Virginia Most Neurotic State in Union" A CBS News report (correction: not Couric) stated this at the conclusion of a piece tonight (Sept. 23) based upon this study here which considers that people have a personality within their states, or flock together with those of similar. While the headline of the story underscores New York as neurotic, West Virginia scored highest. Note the study describes a "stress belt": The results revealed clear patterns of personalities - neuroticism is highest in the east along a line stretching from Maine to Louisiana - the "stress belt". There is evidence of this in the crazy way people drive in West Virginia and the high auto insurance rates even though it is a small population center. (Ohio insurance rates are much cheaper for example). West Virginia has been a place of conflict since it was formed, splitting Virginia in two. The "mountain state" has been a tumultuous region, "wild and wonderful", and still untamed. See how other states score.

POPSThe Best States For Business Forbes Annual Listing In Forbes' annual ranking of the Best States for Business, Virginia finished first for the third straight year. But Georgia is the real story, moving from 15th to fifth place. Georgia finished in the top 10 in four of the six categories we examined (economic climate, growth prospects, labor supply and regulatory environment). Just two other states, Virginia and third-ranked Washington, managed this feat. Our rankings measure states on six main areas of importance: business costs, labor supply, regulatory environment, current economic climate, growth prospects and quality of life. Business costs are weighted the most, but low costs were not enough to keep Louisiana and West Virginia from being the bottom two in our ranking. We look at a total of 32 data points to compile rankings of the six main categories.
