 Chief Executive magazine named Tennessee one of the top three states in the nation for business in their sixth annual survey of Best and Worst States for Business. More than 650 chief executive officers rated states in three general categories: taxation and regulation, workforce quality and living environment. Tennessee moved up two spots from fifth in 2009. Rounding out the top five were Texas, North Carolina, Virginia and Nevada.
In addition to grading states on taxation, workforce and living environment, business leaders also ranked each category in terms of its importance to the respondent and how individual states measure up.The CEOs' most highly valued attributes included employee work ethic, lower tax rates, perceived attitudes toward business and living environment considerations such as real estate costs and education.
