Utah leads Forbes’ ranking of the Best States for Business for the second
straight year and fifth time since 2010 (Virginia ranked No. 1 in 2013). The
Beehive State benefits from light regulation and energy costs that are 23%
below the national average. Employment has expanded 2.2% annually the past
five years, the third best rate in the country. Utah fares well across the
board in the metrics we used, landing in the top six in five of the six
broad categories we used to determine the Best States for Business.
Utah has been a tech destination for years, with companies like eBay EBAY,
Oracle ORCL, Microsoft MSFT and Twitter TWTR building up a heavy presence
in the state as a low-cost alternative to California. However, the tech
scene is evolving in Utah. “Places like Salt Lake City have been successful
as the back office to Silicon Valley, but because of investments the talent
pool has improved over time and now they’re ready to provide the workforce
for more complex operations,” says Jeff Lessard who works with Cushman &
Wakefield clients on their occupancy and location strategies.
Venture capital firms invested $801 million across 43 deals in Utah in 2014,
according to the MoneyTree Survey compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers and
the National Venture Capital Association based on data from Thomson Reuters.
The total is more than three times the average of the previous four years
in Utah. At $18.6 million per deal, the average investment is second highest
behind only Florida and the per capita investment is third behind
California and Massachusetts. | s****y 发帖数: 18685 | 2 #11 Georgia
