If you think Florida isn’t affected by the government shutdown, you better think again, according to the personal finance website WalletHub, Florida ranks 14th among the most affected states in the United States and the District of Columbia, affected by the government shutdown.

The finance portal compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia according to five key indicators that include each state’s participation in federal jobs up to the federal contract dollars per capita up to the proportion of families receiving food stamps, according to the website representatives.

A Patch note explains that the average of all the indicators showed the location of Florida on the list. The indicators are the number of jobs of the Federal Government, the amount of dollars received from personal federal contracts, as well as real estate and Gross Domestic Product.

However, the most affected is the District of Columbia and secondly, New Mexico. They are followed by Maryland, Hawaii and Alaska. Virginia, which is the home of many government workers, ranks sixth.

States like Minnesota, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Iowa and Indiana are least affected by the partial government shutdown, according to WalletHub
