More than six months after a personal-finance website’s study found Utah to be dead last in women’s equality, another study by the same website finds Utah women near the middle nationwide for quality of life.
The study, titled “2019’s Best & Worst States for Women” by the website Wallethub, ranks Utah 29th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia in terms of living standards for women. Minnesota listed at the top, while Louisiana ranked last.
Two of the factors in the new study — friendliness toward women’s equality, where Utah was 50th out of 50, and friendliness toward working moms, where Utah placed 28th nationally — are taken directly from the earlier study Wallethub issued in August.
