(The Center Square) – Washington is the fifth-best state in the country for workers, according to a new report from Oxfam. That's two spots down from last year , when Washington came in third place in British-founded Oxfam's annual 'Best States to Work Index,' which determines its rankings of all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico by looking at wage policies, worker protections and rights to organize. The Evergreen State scored high in this year's report due to its highest-in-the-nation minimum wage – $15.
