"Florida has long been regarded as a place for tourists and retirees. However, because of its location, univeristy system, void of income tax, well maintained and developed highway infrastructure, numerous international and regional airports, sea ports, vast work force, untapped, affordable and quality land resources in the northern tier of the state, closeness to the caribbean and South America, and generally wonderful weather makes it a wonderful place to establish and grow a business."
-- Carlton A., Florida

"Leadership gurus around the globe say that today’s companies want a workforce whose actions speak louder than their words. Companies want to hire and promote people who get to the point, get the job done and get results. That’s who we are and what we do in North Dakota."
-- Tracy F., North Dakota

"Texas, correction on reporting! Texas franchise tax board. Yes! Texas has their quiet version of state income tax."

"North Carolina is certainly among the top five states in business. All you have to do is ask people from Manteo to Murphy why they live, work, worship and play here. They all say it is the best in the USA. Our economy is very diversified and covers about any career path one's family may have."
-- Claude L., North Carolina

"I think Texas is #1. This is a great state to work and reside in. San Antonio has great medical facilities and research. We have the Lackland and Randolph AFB, Fort Sam Army Medical and Base, Toyota, AT&T, Boeing, USAA and the list goes on. We have higher education available, so employee's can continue their education, with the University of Texas San Antonio, Trinity University, Incarnate Word University, Lady of the Lake College and Texas A&M San Antonio coming soon, to mention a few. We have educated available employees, jobs for their spouses, a beautiful airport, affordable homes, good schools, great highways and miles and miles of rivers to float down. Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Sea World to enjoy with the family or take a short trip to the Texas coast. Beautiful weather....snow is rare here. A beautiful river walk, The Alamo and the missions. What can I say, please visit us soon and see for yourself!"
-- Betty K., Texas

"NEVADA! It is very hard to believe that you have ranked Nevada at #43! In Nevada there is no state income tax, no corporate tax, no inheritance tax, we have one of the best economies in the nation and we have been a leader in job creation for more than 14 quarters! The Las Vegas Valley has been attracting many tech companies that want to take advantage of our favorable business climate but also one of the most advanced technology infrastructures in the nation! Transportation - Nevada has become a hub of warehouse and distribution facilities for large corporations throughout the country and with strategic locations near Interstate 15, 80 and the CanaMex International trade corridor, rail and air freight not to mention the sixth busiest airport, a strong, steady population growth, strong demand for housing, retail and office properties, Nevada should be in the top five of your so called “TOP STATES FOR BUSINESS”!"
-- Joseph R., Nevada
