Virginia reclaims the title of America’s Top State for Business this year, squeezing past last year’s Top State, Texas, by a nose—just four points. Texas is still a business powerhouse—the Lone Star State still has the top Economy in the nation despite the falling price of oil, and its Transportation and Infrastructure remain second to none. But Virginia, always a solid performer across the board, managed just enough improvement in the right areas—like Economy (7 vs. 17 last year)--to regain the title it won in 2007.

Does Alaska being the worst have anything to do with the fact that it's up in the middle of no where and it only has a few cities and they're not really very big (especially population wise)....although Alaska is the biggest state area wise.
