Summary
The article discusses how North Carolina has been ranked as America's Top State for Business in CNBC's annual competitiveness study for the second consecutive year. Despite growing political divisions, the state has seen a booming economy and the growth of companies like Apple within its borders. North Carolina has attracted and retained talent across various industries, ranking first in the Workforce category. The state also performs well in other categories such as Economy, Technology & Innovation, and Access to Capital. However, there are concerns about the state's education system and reproductive rights, which have affected its rankings in those categories. Texas, on the other hand, has fallen out of the top five for the first time due to issues related to LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, and its power grid. Overall, North Carolina's success in attracting businesses and fostering economic growth is attributed to its talented workforce and supportive business environment.
