Virginia Regains Top Spot in Forbes "Best States for Business" Rankings

Virginia once again stands atop Forbes' newly released list of the "Best States for Business." After ranking second each of the past three years, the state returned to the top spot for the first time since 2009. The annual study examines six important factors for businesses, including costs, labor supply, regulatory environment, current economic climate, growth prospects and quality of life. Virginia was the only state to rank in the top five in four areas of the categories. North Dakota ranked second, while Utah, last year's No. 1 state, dropped to No. 3. Maryland ranked No. 18, down two spots from 2012. The complete rankings are available at the links below.
