Nebraska One of the Best States for
Business!
Nebraska ranks 7th among Forbes magazine's recently released
"Best States
for Business" list.
The magazine examined all 50 states according to 30 metrics
in the
categories of business costs, labor, regulatory environment,
economic
climate, growth prospects, and quality of life.
"There is little doubt that Nebraska needs to continue
working to improve
its business climate and overall tax structure for Nebraska
families," said
Governor Dave Heineman. "However, the ranking from Forbes
offers a snapshot
of the progress we're making and a clear window into the future
of growth
and economic opportunity for our state."
