加州人最好不要再吹捧自己的海滩、高山和文化,因为美新周刊(U.S. News)的最新报告表示,这些特点完全无法为加州加分,加州的“生活品质”乃全美最差。
这项年度排名是美新周刊今年“最佳州”调查结果的一部分,其他还包括健保、教育、经济、公民机会、基础建设、犯罪与惩教、财政稳定等项目的排名,每个项目的得分比重依“民众认为的重要性”来决定,比重最大的是健保和教育,各占16%,经济占14%,公民机会占13%,调查数据来自麦肯锡公司(McKinsey & Company)的领先州指数(Leading States Index)。点此可下载查看英文版详细排名原件
美新周刊表示:“如此就可以说明,为何基础建设排行第一和健保排行第三的爱荷华州会是全美冠军,生活品质第二和公民机会第三的明尼苏达州会是全美亚军。”
加州在经济项目获得第四名,但是公民机会排行第46,财务稳定排行第43,生活品质更是倒数第一,故整体排行只获得第32名。
美新周刊说:“除了健康的生活环境,个人生活品质与人与人之间的互动有很大的关系。研究指出,当人们感受到社会的支持时,他们的幸福感会比较大,生理和心理的健康状况也会比较好。”
