The U.S. News & World Report last week released its rankings of the best states – and for New Jersey, there was good news and bad news.
The magazine named New Jersey the 14th best state overall – positive news. But when the study examined fiscal stability, a metric important to the state’s business environment – it ranks New Jersey a dismal 48th. This follows a CNBC study last year that placed New Jersey a much-improved 19th overall on its list of “Top States for Business.” But it too acknowledged critical shortcomings – ranking New Jersey 44th in cost-effectiveness and 48th in business-friendliness.
