NEW YORK - Love them or hate them, millennials are not going anywhere.

With millennials expected to be the largest generation by 2028, the question is which is the best state in the U.S. for all these early-20-to-early-30-year olds?

WalletHub looked to answer that question once again with their annual list ranking all 50 states and the District of Columbia on the best and worst states for millennials.

For 2019, New York was ranked as one of the best, coming in at number 14 on the list. Last year, New York ranked at number 19.

Massachusetts came in as the number 1 best state for millennials, beating out last year's top pick, District of Columbia which came in at number 2 this year.
