When evaluating each state, we should consider the following:
1. How much can you get from unemployment?
2. Most generous welfare payments
3. Healthcare for those without insurance
4. Services for parents disabled children
5. Help for the disabled in general
6. Public transit availability
7. Other government services
8. Anything else I may have missed
