Quote:
Forbes Magazine’s “best small places for business and careers” ranks Johnson City 35th out of 186 small metro areas (less than 250,000 population). The annual ranking uses three primary factors: cost of doing business, projected job growth and educational attainment. Johnson City ranked No. 10 in cost of doing business, 39th in projected job growth and 77th in educational attainment. Other Tennessee metros included Cleveland (76th), Morristown (100th) and Jackson (139th).

Kingsport-Bristol, with a population of 303,000, was in Forbes’ large metro list, and placed 151st out of 200. The Model City ranked fourth for cost of doing business, but 144th for projected job growth and 186th for educational attainment.
I don't feel that Kpt-Bristol to Knoxville type metros is really a fair comparison. There is much more detail in the article, give it a read.
