There is a fierce debate about whether or not California is business friendly. Those who believe California is bad for business usually point to our state’s high tax rates and regulations.
Despite California’s reputation as not being business friendly due to its higher tax structure, a study that examined other trends showed the state is still a good place to do business.
The business climate in California is improving. A new report shows the state ranks high when it comes to new business development and small business growth.
The report looked at three major indicators of business in California.
Despite red tape, high taxes and a burdensome cost of living, California is still deemed to be a good place to do business, and the San Jose region is the nation's best-performing major metro area, according to separate reports released Wednesday.
Contradicting an entrenched narrative that California is a bad place to start or expand a business, a new report sets out to make a case that the Golden State is a national leader in job creation.
