The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce's biannual Baker Tilly Spring Economic Outlook Survey brings grim news for the state's lagging employment prospects: Fourteen percent of those surveyed said they were currently considering moving their businesses out of New Jersey. Ten of the 14 business leaders considering relocating their businesses blamed high taxes or high cost of living as their reason. Just four cited opportunities elsewhere. "It is no surprise that high taxes are at the top of the list," said Tom Bracken, president and CEO of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. "New Jersey-based corporations pay a 9.4 percent tax rate, one of the highest in the country. Despite that, some in the state Legislature last month proposed increasing the corporate tax rate again to 10.75 percent. We fought hard against it and thankfully Gov. Christie vetoed it."
