United States Small Business Friendliness Survey – Thumbtack
Some of the survey’s key findings include:
- Utah, Idaho, Texas, Virginia and Louisiana gave their states the highest rating for friendliness to small business. Small businesses in Colorado Springs, Boise and Houston gave their cities the highest ratings.
- In contrast, small business owners gave California, Rhode Island and Illinois an “F,” while Connecticut and New Jersey both earned a “D” grade. Sacramento, Providence and Buffalo were the survey’s worst-performing cities as rated by their small business owners.
Sounds about right.
