From Bloomberg:
Research shows that states keeping costs low for business have enjoyed better job
growth during the past couple of decades. The low costs appear to be more important
than other advantages often associated with higher spending, including infrastructure
and an appealing quality of life. Those findings emerge in a recent paper by Jed Kolko
and Marisol Cuellar Mejia of the Public Policy Institute of California, along with
David Neumark of the University of California at Irvine. The researchers compared
states by digging into almost a dozen indexes that rank business- climate attractiveness.
