CNBC Ranks Georgia No. 2 For Business, No. 1 For Economy
Primary Content
Site Selection Magazine has ranked Georgia the No. 1 place to do business four years running. Now CNBC has chimed in and Georgia ranks as the No. 2 state for business, helped in large part due to having what CNBC ranks as the best economy in the country for business.
The CNBC study looked at several factors, but the three that leapt to the top of the page were Georgia’s economy, it’s workforce (No. 3 nationally) and it’s infrastructure (No. 4 nationally). In fact, Workforce and Infrastructure were the two most heavily weighted of the 66 metrics chosen.
