Twenty Years Strong: Texas Continues to Be the Best State for Business

Governor Greg Abbott expressed his pride in Texas being named the best state for business for the 20th consecutive year by Chief Executive Magazine. The survey evaluated CEOs’ perceptions of business climate, workforce quality, and overall quality of life in each state. Texas has consistently ranked at the top of the list since the survey’s inception, showcasing its continued appeal to business leaders.

The reasons why Texas continues to attract businesses and entrepreneurs include its pro-growth economic policies, lack of corporate and personal income taxes, skilled workforce, access to global markets, robust infrastructure, and business-friendly regulations. These factors have made Texas an ideal destination for companies looking for a supportive and thriving environment.

Governor Abbott emphasized that Texas offers opportunities for businesses of all sizes to thrive and for employees to succeed. He stated that this paves the way for a bigger, better Texas in the years to come. Additionally, he highlighted other positive milestones for Texas such as winning the Governor’s Cup for the 12th consecutive year, leading job growth in the nation, and adding more than 2.3 million jobs under his leadership.

With its ongoing success and growth, Texas has solidified its position as a top destination for business. Its commitment to fostering a business-friendly climate has undoubtedly played a significant role in its achievements and recognition as the best state for business for two decades running.
