2. Nebraska
> State debt per capita: $1,407 (4th lowest)
> Pct. without health insurance: 11.5% (14th lowest)
> Pct. below poverty line: 11.9% (tied for 14th lowest)
> Unemployment: 4.2% (2nd lowest)

The state of Nebraska had the 21st lowest revenue per capita in the country in 2009 yet managed to spend more per capita that year than all but seven states. The state has the fourth lowest debt per capita, and it is one of 13 states with a perfect AAA credit rating. Besides being financially sound, Nebraska also has an unemployment rate of 4.2%, the second lowest rate in the country. The state also has relatively low poverty, high graduation rates and the seventh lowest rate of foreclosures last month.
