It probably surprises you to learn that Wyoming is one of the most expensive states in our country. It’s the 10th largest state by area and also the least populated, but most DENSELEY populated in the contiguous United States.

One thing to know is that significant job growth is expected over the next ten years, by 13.3 percent, to be exact, which is, unfortunately, lower than the US average of 33.5 percent.

As a state whose workforce largely depends on tourism, mineral extraction, and agriculture, this expensive state’s industries have suffered a bit more than others from the coronavirus pandemic.

Interesting Fact: This state produces about 40 percent of the nation’s coal, making it a top coal producer in our country.

If you want to move sometime in the near future or would like to invest in some real estate, it’s important to keep these expensive states in mind.

    When was the Washington Monument moved across the country? How is Montana the most densely populated state? Why do I bother reading such stupid lists?

    “But its population of more than 20 million people in 2020 makes it the 4th most populous metropolis in the US. Two-thirds of the state’s population resides in the New York metropolitan area. This city is also the premier gateway for immigration into the US.” Many believe NYC is NYS. With 2/3 of the population of the state in that small area, consider how nice the rest of the state is with its beauty, natural resources, fresh air etc. Why anyone would prefer an urban jungle is beyond me. I do live in NYS but not in NYC.
