Utah Receives National Recognition As An Economic Powerhouse
For third year in a row Utah is recognized as a leading pro-business State
Utah has jumped from ninth most business friendly state in the country to second, just slightly behind Virginia. In one of the most widely recognized annual economic studies in the country, Utah was named, for the third year in a row as one of the "Top 10 Pro-Business States." In the report released today, the "Pollina Corporate Top 10 Pro-Business States for 2009: Rebuilding America's Economic Power" once again ranked each state in the annual study of job retention and creation by the 50 states and the federal government.
Dr. Ronald R. Pollina emphasized "the effort to make America more business-friendly must come from all levels of government. America must be an integral part of global business if it is to remain a superpower, but thus far we have done a terrible job of integrating ourselves in the 21st century marketplace," says geo-economist and corporate relocation expert Dr. Pollina. "There are, however, states that serve as a model for the rest of the country." The report goes on to recognize Utah as one of those states leading the way.
