CALIFORNIA — Californians have the third-best bosses in the country, according to a recent report.

Southern California News Group business columnist Jonathan Lansner used five metrics, relying on 10 years of Bureau of Labor Statistics data and Oxfam’s best place to work ranking, to determine which states have the best bosses.

California was third, behind Massachusetts and Washington and ahead of New York and Connecticut, according to Lansner, who said the nation’s worst bosses were in Mississippi, Georgia and Louisiana.
