TaxProfBlog reports on the
McGee Report which calculated the best and worst
states for business. A pair of fascinating factoids from that meta-analytic study:
90% of the top 10 voted for Trump; 80% of the bottom 10 voted for Clinton.
Interested in the identity of the top 10 (actually 11 because IA, ND tied) ranked states for business? Here they are, all but one voting for Trump:
Utah
North Carolina
Indiana
South Dakota
Wyoming
Idaho
Nebraska
Tennessee
Colorado (D)
Iowa
North Dakota
How about the 10 lowest ranked states for business? Here they are, all but two voting for Clinton:
Illinois
Maryland
New York
West Virginia (R)
New Mexico
Rhode Island
Connecticut
Louisiana (R)
New Jersey
California
These results are not the result of random chance, politics are related to business climate. I find interesting that Texas is no longer among the top 10. Y'all must miss Gov. Perry.
