Oklahoma Moves Up List Of Business Friendly States
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A national publication that targets business leaders from across the country says Oklahoma is moving up in its ranking of which of the 50 states are best for business.
Chief Executive Magazine moved Oklahoma up eight spots in this year's rankings to No. 11 overall. The magazine polled more than 500 chief executive officers on criteria ranging from taxation and business regulations to the quality of a state's workforce and living environment.
Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb, who serves as the governor's secretary of small business, says the ranking shows Oklahoma is on the "cusp of a renaissance."
Texas again ranked No. 1 on the list, followed by North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Georgia. California ranked 50th.
