jobs.aol.com - The best state, according to these factors? New Hampshire. But New York, Wyoming, several Northern Midwest states and Virginia also had the high overall economic rankings. Many Southern states, including Florida, Arkansas and Tennessee, plus western states like Nevada and Arizona, had the lowest overall economic rankings.

Best States for Jobs

That's according to a new hot jobs map of America created by eBay Classifieds. Reports show that 190,000 new jobs were created in February, and the research determined which states have the most buoyant economies in this still very difficult economic climate.

Some of the findings include:

New Hampshire: New Hampshire has the lowest crime rates in the country, the fourth lowest unemployment rates, and the ninth highest personal income per capita, making it the most economically buoyant state in the country.

New York: New York City's median salary, $64,535, is behind the median salaries of just 10 states. In other words, if the city were a state, it would have the 11th highest average annual income in the United States.

Connecticut: Connecticut has the highest personal income per capita in the country, at $56,556.

Rhode Island: Rhode Island has the 15th highest personal income per capita, as well as 18th lowest crime rates, but its high unemployment figures (46th) keep it in the middle of the pack.
