#1. 11th Year in a Row. TX is #1 for Business.

CEO Magazine for the last 11 years has named Texas the #1 state for business. 

The results are based on responses to an annual survey from 511 CEOs across the U.S. 

Highlighted Texas Facts:

  • Since the recession began in December 2007, 1.2 million net jobs have been created in Texas.
    •  700,000 net jobs were created in the other 49 states combined.
  • According to one CEO, “California and Oregon are essentially anti-business, whereas Texas and Tennessee do everything possible to make business comfortable and more successful.”
