CNBC released their America’s Top States For Doing Business and Minnesota comes in at #7.

Minnesota has done very well in recent years:

• #6 2018

• #3 2017

• #4 2016

• #1 2015

• #15 2013

Here is how we did:

‘19 – ‘18 – ‘17 – ‘16 – ‘15 –’14 – ‘13 – Category

#3 - #3 – #3 – #2 – #3 – #4 – #3 Quality of Life

#3 - #5 – #2 – #2 – #2 – #12 – #23 Education

#7 - #5 – #5 – #9 – #6 – #11 – #18 Technology & Innovation

#9 - #6 – #10 – #5 – #9 – #5 – #8 Infrastructure

#13 - #16 – #16 – #15 – #13 – #30 – #32 Workforce

#17 - #17 – #16 – #21 – #23 – #11 – #17 Access to Capital

#23 - #18 – #6 – #17 – #5 – #5 – #10 Economy

#28 - #28 – #33 – #27 – #23 – #15 – #15 Business Friendliness

#31 - #29 – #31 – #27 – #32 – #28 – #34 Cost of Living

#39 - #38 – #36 – #35 – #35 – #38 – #39 Cost of Doing Business

I’m still curious about the “Economy” category and why we seem to bounce around and lately lower than I would expect.
