There have been many articles written and research conducted on the best places to live, but MSN.com just posted an article taken from Forbes.com on the best places for businesses to strive. Forbes.com researched 200 communities across the country all ranging in sizes, and then ranked them according to 12 metrics. These metrics included costs (both business and living), job growth (past and projected), income growth, educational attainment and projected economic growth. Forbes.com also was interested in the quality of life issues as well. These issues included crime rates, cultural and recreational opportunities, and migration patterns. From all of these statistics, they came up with these top 10 places:


1. Des Moines, Iowa


2. Provo, Utah


3. Raleigh, North Carolina


4. Fort Collins, Colorado


5. Lincoln, Nebraska


6. Denver, Colorado


7. Omaha, Nebraska


8. Huntsville, Alabama
