North Dakota
This state remained strong even in the period of recession because of its rich natural resources. Unemployment is low, while population and jobs keep on growing. It’s no surprise that it ranked first in environment and community, second in work environment, and eleventh in physical and emotional well being. If you are a nature lover, this is your piece of heaven on earth. Its little towns have kept their values intact even with modernization. It’s a gorgeous view regardless of the season.
