Idaho ranks sixth best for business
Idaho is the sixth best state for business, according to Forbes Magazine's first-ever state business climate rankings.
The Forbes rankings take into account business costs, economic climate, growth prospects, labor, quality of life, and regulatory environment.
Virginia was rated the best state for business, with neighboring Utah taking fourth. Hurricane-ravaged Louisiana was ranked the worst state for business.
Idaho received its highest marks for economic climate, for which it ranked second, and its lowest marks for regulatory, for which it ranked 34th.
In May, Boise was ranked the fourth best metropolitan area for business by Forbes, down from first place a year before.
