10 U.S states with the worst standard of living (+Photos)

5. Tennessee

Just about 85% of the human resource of Tennessee has completed high school as of 2013. The state has given significant efforts to improve education. State officials have notably approved the initiative to make community colleges tuition-free, thus being the only US state to do so. But the political engagement is poor here, and like most similar places, it has low access to services like broadband, which is available to less than 60%. It has the 6th lowest voter turnout, 17th lowest employment rate, 20th lowest Household disposable income per capita and 10th highest homicide rate.
