Pennsylvania has ranked near the bottom of the list of the best states in the nation, according to a new ranking recently published by the U.S. News & World Report.
The Best States rankings measured how well states are performing for their citizens across eight categories: Health Care, Education, Natural Environment, Opportunity, Economy, Crime and Corrections, Infrastructure, and Fiscal Stability.
The Keystone State came among the bottom ten states, placing at No. 41 overall.
