Forbes: America's Best Cities For Business Mostly In West, South And Iowa (PHOTOS)

Colorado Cities Dominate Forbes's 'Best For Business' List: Find Out Who Made The Cut

This week Forbes released its list of the best cities in America for business. The list, which was calculated based on factors like business costs, living costs, educated workforce supply and expected job growth, was dominated by mid-sized metro areas in the middle of the country. Four of the top 15 business-friendly cities were in Colorado, while two were in Iowa. The south also had four cities on the list.

According to Forbes, small midwestern markets are benefiting from the fact that "Businesses on both coasts still face outrageous costs and indebted state governments with budget shortfalls that will have to be filled from the flesh of local firms."
