Star report
Memo to staff: Indiana is the best place in the Midwest to do business. But nationally, it's slipping just a bit.
A national survey of 534 chief executives ranked the Hoosier state as the best state to do business in the Midwest for the second straight year, but only 11th in the nation, down three spots from last year's rankings.
The survey by Chief Executive magazine asked business leaders to evaluate states on a range of issues, including tax policies, quality of living and work force.
It ranked Indiana third in the nation in business friendliness, fourth in transportation and sixth in cost of business. Among Midwestern states, Indiana's rankings, respectively, were first, third and second.
The top five states were Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. The bottom five states (starting with dead last) were California, New York, Michigan, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
