Being a working dad may be easier or harder, depending on where you live.
At least, that’s according to a recent report from WalletHub, which found the best and worst states in the U.S. for working dads.
For its report, WalletHub analyzed and ranked all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. based on 23 measurements in four categories: economics & social well-being, work-life balance, child care and health.

Meanwhile, Massachusetts has the lowest male uninsured rate, while Texas has the highest.
