I think that these are the sorts of topics that actually drive females away.

Oh I strongly disagree.

Percentage uninsured by state:

30%: <9%
40%: 9.0-10.9%
50%: 11.0-12.9%
60%: 13.0-14.9%
70%: 15.0-16.9%
80%: 17.0-18.9%
90%: >19%

Number of federal prisons:

D >20% = 0
R >20% = 1-2
R >30% = 3-4
R >40% = 5-6
R >50% = 7-8
R >60% = 9-10
R >70% = 11-12
R >80% = 13-14

We need to put some more federal prisons in Alaska.  That'd probably serve as somewhat of a deterrent.  lol.

[??????????]

Where do you all find this kind of info at?

Yes, the one thing Alaska and its government need is yet another form of rent-seeking.

Taxation by State:


Bankruptcy by State:


Forced Rape Per Capita by State (per 1,000 people):


Oil Consumption Per Capita by State:


Chlamydia Rates by State (per 100,000):

[Brittain33]

How do you measure taxation by state? It looks like combined federal and state per capita in absolute dollars, not state alone, and not as a percentage of income.

Firearm deaths per 100,000 people:

Weak correlation with gun control laws and lower deaths....

[Verily]

More like only conservatives shoot people. Unless they're Mormons.

Maine certainly has laxer gun laws than DC.

It's not the idea of allowing responsible, educated citizens to own guns that disgusts me... it's the idea that "if we just give guns to the teachers, there won't be school shootings" that really gets me.

You know which party controlled the Minnesota State Senate when the concealed carry law was passed? It wasn't the Libertarians (or Republicans for that matter...)

I don't think anyone other than radical Libertarians promote that sort of thing, nor is that the law anywhere.

No, more like

Ending  is more important than

AND

Working to end  while investing in  will likely lead to less

Shallow and direct responses that seek to superficially solve deeply interconnected societal problems never work.  There is always an indirect, less obvious, but (in the longer term) more effective way to solve our problems.

Not sure how this was measured, but if it were absolute dollars, California would be way higher than Mississippi.

Percentage of Married Couples with Both Spouses in the Workforce:

Percentage of Married Couples with Both Spouses in the Workforce:

I have no idea what to make of those numbers. None.

[Brittain33]

I have no idea what to make of those numbers. None.

1. Farmers
2. Middle-class professionals

as opposed to

3. Economically depressed areas with no jobs to spare (Appalachia, mitigating in N.Y., Penn., Michigan)
4. Places with lots of construction (I have no idea if that's causation, but what else links California, Florida, and Arizona?)
4a. Duh. Retirees.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Anyone got any maps on alcohol consumption? Or underage alcohol consumption? I know that North Dakota is #1 in the latter (there's at least one thing about the state to be proud of!)

Of course retirees skew the data, but in general I was expecting the liberal states to be more supportive of women in the workplace.

Regarding farmers, brittain, are you saying that the Midwest has high employment rate of both spouses because of couples that live/work on farms?

It's much more driven by economic conditions than anything else. In economically depressed areas (Michigan, Oregon, West Virginia), fewer couples will both be working because there aren't many jobs to begin with.

There's some social aspect to it, too, but the Plains were always on the forefront of women's rights.

My understanding is that most people who have farms need to work jobs off of the farm in order to make a living year round. I would imagine this means wives have to work, too, especially if part of the year the husband is investing energy in the farm without short-term reward.

But then again, how many people are still living in farms in some of those places?
