AZ Business Magazine
Advancing three places from a year ago, Arizona was ranked as the No. 9 state for business in Chief Executive magazine’s 13th annual Best & Worst States for Business survey, which was released today. The Chief Executive rankings reflect CEO perceptions of best and worst states based on a range of key measures. Arizona benefited because CEOs rank it highly in several key industries, and for its favorable living environment.
The top five states for 2017, in rank order, are Texas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Indiana. Full results and additional information can be found on ChiefExecutive.net/2017-BWStates, and in the May/June issue of Chief Executive.
