CNBC: Top States for Business Survey

DateMonday, August 3, 2009 at 9:10AM

The rankings are in for 2009. Kentucky finished a respectable 34th - respectable here being defined as not being in the bottom ten. Though compared to our surrounding states, again improvement is needed. Here are how we stack up against them - with their national ranking in parentheses.

Virginia (1)

Missouri (14)

Indiana (15)

Tennessee (20)

Illinois (25)

Ohio (29)

Kentucky (34)

West Virginia (46)

Interestingly - Alabama & Mississippi finish well below Kentucky - 39th and 45th respectively. And yet, over the last ten years or so, those states have beaten us when competing for big automotive investments. Policymakers should be asking this question: why?
