The Measure of America 2013-2014

Measure of America, a project of the Social Science Research Council, released the "Measure of America: American Human Development Report 2013-2014." This Index measures the well-being of America in three vital areas--health, education, and earnings--all of which shape the opportunities available to Americans to invest in their families and to live to their fullest potential. The report also contains the American Human Development Index ranking for the 50 U.S. States, the 25 largest metropolitan areas, and racial and ethnic groups within those States and metro areas. It also looks at changes in well-being in States since 2000 and in metro areas before and after the Great Recession.
