Study: Texas ranks among least self-sufficient U.S. states
Supporters of Texas' independence movement might want to rethink their plans after a new research report ranked the Lone Star State among the 10 least self-sufficient U.S. states. Indeed, the study published by online personal finance blog WalletHub placed Texas at No. 41 in its ability to go it alone. WalletHub determined how independent all 50 states are by ranking them in six categories, including residents' individual financial independence and their reliance on government assistance, not to mention each state's job market strength and dependence on foreign trade.
