Though they have no great wars to fight (in the West, wars are now fought by volunteers), millennials are facing enormous loads of student debt, stagnant wages, and an entrenched sense that the future looks bleak. Whatever skills they have learned will likely be rendered unmarketable thanks to AI, and anybody who isn't programming the machines and computers who will run our future society should fear them.

As a group, those aged 23 to 38 earn less and have fewer assets than their parents. But across the US, there's a pretty wide variance in living conditions, and for millennials who need to watch every penny, certain states make more hospitable homes than others.

In a recent research project, Zippia.com determined the 10 worst states/territories for millennials. They are:

District of Columbia

Georgia

New York

Florida

North Carolina

California

South Carolina

Alabama

Louisiana

Mississippi
