Virginia jumped over the Lone Star State this year to become No. 1 again on CNBC’s annual list of “Top States for Business.”
Virginia received 1,660 out of 2,500 points, which are scored using 43 measurements in 10 competitiveness categories: Cost of Doing Business, Workforce, Quality of Life, Economy, Infrastructure & Transportation, Technology & Innovation, Education, Business Friendliness, Access to Capital and Cost of Living.
Texas and Virginia and have flip-flopped between first and second place on CNBCÂ’s annual ranking. This year, Texas received 1,578 points.
Texas has created more jobs than the rest of the country over the past ten years and Virginia's current unemployment rate is 6.1%. Why can't this news - and the lesson it offers - penetrate the D.C. Beltway?Why doesn't it register with the Progressives?
