全美各州经济科技排行榜 -- Texas Is America's Top State for Business 2012
? Texas (#1) ? Utah (#2) ? Virginia (#3) ? North Carolina (#4) ? North Dakota (#5) ? Nebraska (#6) ? South Dakota (#7) ? Colorado (#8) ? Georgia (#9) ? Wyoming (#10)
Each year, we score all 50 states on the criteria they use to sell themselves. This year’s analysis is the most comprehensive yet, using 51 metrics developed with the help of the National Association of Manufacturers and the Council on Competitiveness, as well as input from the states themselves.
This year’s categories and possible point totals are:
Cost of Doing Business (350) Workforce (350) Quality of Life (350) Infrastructure & Transportation (325) Economy (325) Education (225) Technology & Innovation (225) Business Friendliness (200) Access to Capital (100) Cost of Living (50)
In our sixth annual study, Texas racked up an impressive 1,604 points out of a possible 2,500, with top-10 finishes in six of our 10 categories of competitiveness. Texas has never finished below second place since we began the study in 2007.
This year’s runner up is not Virginia but Utah, which surged from last year ’s eighth-place finish. The Beehive State boasts low costs (11th lowest for Cost of Doing Business, sixth for Cost of Living), a world class Workforce (ninth place) and moves into the top 10 for Quality of Life. The state has seen an impressive influx of venture capital of late, jumping ten places to 13th for Access to Capital, and its Infrastructure improved to eighth place this year. |
