8. Baltimore, MA

The charming city of Baltimore has an outstanding image as a historical and cultural center, but the city is regrettably afflicted by high crime rates. Due to the high rates of poverty and limited access to healthcare, the city also has a poor life expectancy. Sheesh, that sounds bad! We hope you didn’t plan on relocating here for retirement!

If so, you may want to rethink your plans, particularly if you intend to work after retirement and want a secure workplace with a competitive income.

9. Hooper Bay, AK

Despite its reputation as one of the most unrestricted and picturesque states in the country, Alaska does not come without a cost. Hooper Bay, for example, is one of the worst states for jobs in the US due to its high cost of living, 6.80% unemployment rate, and appalling job growth of -0.17%.
