Apparently, Utah, North Carolina, and Colorado are the best for business.

Utah surprised me a little. North Carolina, not so much. Colorado, I'm too biased to judge.

It would be nice if they had their methodology posted online as well, as any list that has Fort Collins in the top 10 has some shaky methodology. While the unemployment rate is low, the underemployment rate is very high, and while the workforce is highly educated, the reality is many companies will tell you the city is a nightmare to deal with for a company trying to do any kind of improvements or changes to a building. There is a reason that multiple companies have announced they are coming to Fort Collins, only to change their mind and locate elsewhere, and that many companies are either leaving or threatening to leave all the time.

I work in Cloud Computing and I have to say that business demand is not that good here.
However, being in the center of the country where I can get to San Fran/LA and Boston/NYC makes it a good choice for consulting businesses which I see are exploding in Denver.

Denver is mopping up as a regional headquarters location. If you look 1,000 miles in any direction, you have hard-to-get-to-places (resort towns), places where people do not want to relocate to (Omaha), and not much else. As consolidation occurs in many businesses, Denver and SLC have a lock on attracting the offices for companies that lie somewhere in between the Coast and the Mississippi.

I expect SLC and Denver to continue to duke it out. SLC's limiting factor will be its culture. Denver's will be congestion and cost of living.
