Abstract

In this paper, we determine the fuzzy similarity measure between the ranking of states with respect to best the states for work for women and work in general. We break the states into regions and determine the same fuzzy similarity measures for each region. We find that the fuzzy similarity measures range from high to very high. We develop new fuzzy similarity
measures to be used in rankings.
