NORTH CAROLINA — A nonprofit group says North Carolina is the worst state to work in when it comes to workers’ experience.
Oxfam focuses on poverty and injustice.
The group looked at state wage policies, worker protections and rights to organize.
North Carolina has not changed its minimum wage since 2009.
The state does not allow collective bargaining, which would allow employees to negotiate better wages and benefits.
