Every year, Chief Executive Magazine conducts a survey of Chief Executive Officers to obtain their perception of the business friendliness of the 50 states. The details are here. The top five states in 2024 were Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona and North Carolina. The second five includes Indiana, Georgia, Nevada, Utah and South Carolina.
The least business friendly states were California (#50), New York (#49), Illinois (#48), New Jersey (#47) and Washington (#46). The bottom 10 is rounded out with Massachusetts (#45), Hawaii (#44), Oregon (#43), Connecticut (#42) and Minnesota (#41).
The magazine describes the Survey as follows: “The ranking is based on a survey of more than 500 CEOs across the country who were asked to rate states based on their opinion of how easy it was to do business in that state versus others.”
The magazine added: "Texas and Florida's consistent ranking at the top of lists for best states to do business in reaffirms their status as economic powerhouses," said Chris Chalk, Publisher, Chief Executive magazine. "Their pro-business environments, robust infrastructure, and skilled workforce continue to attract businesses and drive economic growth. These states serve as prime examples of how strategic policies and investments can create opportunities for success."
I checked with ChatGPT to get a resume of recent year surveys. In each of the last ten years, Texas has ranked #1 and Florida #2. But the bottom end of the rankings has been more stable (with no change in the bottom 3), with California taking last place over the last decade, New York taking 49th place and Illinois placing 48th.

Since 2000, there has been substantial net domestic migration between the states of the United States.
The largest gains have been in Florida (3.4 million), Texas (2.7 million), North Carolina (1,5 million), Arizona (1.4 million and Georgia (1.0) million. Five other states exceeded 500,000, including South Carolina, Tennessee, Nevada, Colorado and Washington (Figure 1). However, Colorado and Washington, along with Oregon (which gained over 400,000) have slipped into net domestic migration losses, with costs of living driven up due to excessively heightened housing costs.
The largest losses were in New York (4.0 million), California (3.8 million), Illinois (1.9 million and New Jersey, at 1.1 million. Ohio, Massachusetts and Louisiana lost more than 500,000 net domestic migrants (Figure 2).
During the period, annual net domestic migration numbers were not reported for 2000 or for 2010.
