Tennessee
The future for Tennesseans isn’t looking so bright. Goods-producing and manufacturing industries, in which Tennessee specializes, are expected to decline 1.5 percent per year for the next decade, according to the Tennessee Labor Department. Tennesseans might see their median household income, already 41st in nation, continue to fall and their economic confidence falter. The state also lags in health, with 28 percent of residents obese and 12 percent diabetic.
