SITE SELECTION RANKS LOUISIANA NO. 2 IN NATIONAL BUSINESS CLIMATE RANKING
Louisiana earns its highest-ever position in publication's ranking of top states for business
Today, Gov. Bobby Jindal touted Louisiana's rise to No. 2 in the Site Selection 2014 Top U.S. Business Climates, the state's highest-ever placement in the magazine's annual ranking. Louisiana moved up from No. 6 in Site Selection's 2013 ranking. The No. 2 ranking in 2014 (trailing only Georgia) marks Louisiana's fifth consecutive year in the Top 10. Just five years ago, Louisiana ranked No. 25.
Earlier this year, Business Facilities magazine ranked Louisiana No. 1 in the U.S. in its Best Business Climates ranking (with Georgia at No. 7). The latest Site Selection ranking provides additional evidence of Louisiana's attractiveness as a compelling location for business investment and job creation. Rounding out the Site Selection Top 5 this year were No. 3 North Carolina, No. 4 Texas, and No. 5 Ohio.
