For the 20th consecutive year, Texas has been named the best state for business in a survey conducted by Chief Executive Magazine. The survey gathers input from the nation’s top CEOs to determine which state is most conducive for business. Texas Governor Greg Abbott praised this achievement, stating that Texas truly is the best state for business and serves as a model for the nation. He highlighted the state’s pro-growth economic policies, young and skilled workforce, access to global markets, robust infrastructure, and business-friendly regulations as key factors that attract businesses to Texas.
The survey assesses CEOs’ opinions on business climate, workforce, and quality of life, with Texas consistently ranking at the top since the survey’s inception. Governor Abbott also mentioned several record-breaking milestones for Texas in the past year, including winning the Governor’s Cup for a record 12th year in a row for attracting the most job-creating business relocation and expansion projects in the nation. Additionally, Texas’s economy has been growing faster than the national average for six consecutive quarters, and the state has added the most jobs in the nation over the past year.
Under Governor Abbott’s leadership, Texas has seen significant job growth and economic success, solidifying its position as the best state for business. The state’s business-friendly environment, diverse workforce, and strategic location continue to attract entrepreneurs and industry leaders looking to expand their operations. Texas aims to build on this momentum and create a brighter future for businesses and workers alike.
