A List That Actually Matters

CNBC has rated all 50 states in terms of “Best for Business” using these categories: Cost of doing business, Workforce, Economy, Education, Quality of Life, Technology and Information, Transportation, Cost of Living, Business Friendliness, and Access to Capital

The list came out as follows:

1 Texas
2 Virginia
3 Utah
4 Idaho
5 Colorado
6 North Carolina
7 South Dakota
8 Georgia
9 Iowa
10 Minnesota

Notice that the only “Blue” state on the entire list comes in at #10. The closest “Purple” state comes in at #5.

There is a reason for that. Not the least of which is that those two states are also the only ones in the Top 10 that are not Right to Work states.

Washington tied with the People’s Republic of New Jersey at #18.
