The finance website came up with its results by analyzing the 50 states and Washington D.C., using 13 metrics across three categories: child care, professional opportunities and work-life balance.
Georgia came in at No. 36 overall, while Vermont and Minnesota took first and second place, respectively.
The Peach State’s poorer day-care systems, higher gender pay gap and lower female executive-to-male executive ratio helped it fall to the bottom of the pack. The state was also No. 51 overall for work-life balance.
But Georgia wasn’t the only one in the South to rank low. South Carolina was No. 41, Mississippi was No. 46 and Alabama was No. 51.
