The Best Cities for Doing Business

As part of their annual report, Inc. studied 393 population centers across the nation, identifying job creation and other signs of business vitality. What did they find? The big cities are idling, and the real entrepreneurial hot spots are on the periphery -- where low costs and favorable regulatory environments make it possible to thrive. Hartford-West Hartford-East Hartford area ranked 298th out of the 393 population centers.

Which metropolitan areas are really booming? The online report is a searchable database, the full 2006 rankings broken down by small, medium, and large cities, an interactive map, stories explaining why -- and where -- companies are flourishing today, and much more. This might be of interest to sociology and business classes.
