Offices across the country have closed to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, forcing millions of Americans to work from home for the first time.

Not all states are easy to work from home in, however. Unequal internet speeds, electricity costs, and access to jobs where telecommuting is even possible all affect how employees working from home are faring across the nation.

Personal finance site WalletHub has rated all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on how easy it is to work from home during the coronavirus crisis. Each state’s work environment was rated based on the share of its workers that can telecommute, its households’ internet access and cybersecurity, and its living environment (based on the cost of living and the comfort of residential spaces).

Keeping reading to see which states are the most difficult to work from home in, according to WalletHub. WalletHub assigned each state an overall score out of 100 then ranked them out of 51, as the District of Columbia was included in the study.
