Vermont is beautiful, so how did it end up on this list? Even though the state boasts incredible fall foliage and ski resorts, it has nothing going on in the jobs department. WalletHub ranked Vermont number fifty in terms of economic environment, noting it’s a difficult place to start a business. The best case scenario in this state would be working for the government, which could be a good possibility for veterans.

The population in Vermont is small and aging, and access to health care ranks 31 on the list. However, it’s a super safe place to live, which is good for families.
