North Carolina Still Looks Pretty Good

Friday, July 10, 2009 by Phillip Atchison
We’re not telling our fellow Charlotte advertising agencies anything they don’t already know, but trade magazine, Chief Executive, has confirmed the fact that companies of all sizes and in all industries continue to stream into North Carolina. This is good news for creative Charlotte and branding Charlotte.
 
According to the publication, North Carolina is the second-best state in which to conduct business.

The magazine evaluates states on natural resources, regulation, tax policies, quality of living, education and infrastructure, among others. North Carolina ranked No. 3 last year. The state’s best asset is its work force, the magazine says. Chief Executive ranked North Carolina’s work force as third-best in the country.

Other areas of strength included access to capital (No. 10), business friendliness (No. 10), transportation (No. 15) and technology and innovation (No. 18). Texas maintained its ranking of first on the list, which was based on surveys of more than 500 chief executives. The magazine says states that perform well in the rankings tend to have lower taxes and little unionization.

California and New York were ranked the worst and the second worst, respectively.
