Idaho Ranks 2nd Worst In Women’s Equality
From time to time I just have to shake my head and ask myself... What year is this? There are certain things that happen in everyday life that you think are a thing of the past but apparently we haven't evolved as much as we think we have. I love Idaho and I'm proud that we're constantly included in Top 10 list however, This is not one of those moments. According to a Wallet Hub study Idaho is 2020's 2nd Worst State for Women's equality. Check out the full list and methodology below.
