Study: Nevada losing business-friendly status
By Brian Deka, Las Vegas Sun
A cable news channel this week released its rankings of the nation’s top states for business, and the results were not kind to Nevada.
The state fell 16 places to No. 45 in this year’s CNBC rankings, which evaluate states based on factors such as infrastructure, education, quality of life, economy and the cost of doing business. The study ranked Nevada 46th overall in 2013 and 29th last year.
“The Silver State offers a ready supply of employees, but the workforce is tarnished by the worst education system in the country,” the report said.
