In case you missed it – Forbes published the 10 Best Cities for Business and Careers. Des Moines ended up being ranked #4 in the nation for best metros!
It’s not that surprising when you consider the numbers. We’ve had huge job growth (26,000 in the last five years), a low unemployment rate of 3.4% and our business costs are 10% below the national average! Take these numbers and an extremely low cost of living and you have one hot place for businesses to grow.
If you’re an Iowan – you should be proud. If you’re not an Iowan – you should seriously consider!
Here are the top ten metros:
- Raleigh NC
- Boise ID
- Fort Collins CO
- Des Moines IA
- Lexington KY
- Atlanta GA
- Richmond VA
- Olympia WA
- Spokane WA
- Knoxville TN
Iowa continues to be a highly competitive place to raise a family and grow a business. If you’re considering the move, you should get in touch with me!
