Kudos again to Texas!
In the 2009 survey by Chief Executive Magazine on the best and worst states for jobs and business growth, Texas retains its top #1 position that it has held the last 4 years. North Carolina moved up one spot from 3rd to 2nd.
Florida regained its #3 ranking from 2 years ago that it had lost last year.
Rounding out the top 5 are Georgia (4) and Tennessee (5) - both up at least one position from 2008.
The bottom of the chart didn't show much change at all. California continued to rank last (the same for the past 4 years), and New York was next to last (the same for the past 4 years). Michigan, New Jersey, and Massachusetts remained just completed the bottom 5 in essentially the same ranking they have had over the past 4 years.
