While Indiana as a whole enjoys a relatively low unemployment rate of 3.2 percent (13th lowest in the country), there are still a lot of problems when it comes to violent crime. The capital, Indianapolis, is one of the most dangerous cities in the US with a violent crime rate of 675 incidents per 100,000 people. The state average is much lower at 387.5 per 100,000 people, but it's still the 20th highest in the country.
