Comments on: The Best (and Worst) States for Entrepreneurship http://www.networksolutions.com/smallbusiness/2011/08/the-best-and-worst-states-for-entrepreneurship/ Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Free Enterprise http://www.networksolutions.com/smallbusiness/2011/08/the-best-and-worst-states-for-entrepreneurship/#comment-6351 Free Enterprise Tue, 30 Aug 2011 21:31:00 +0000 http://www.networksolutions.com/smallbusiness/?p=9179#comment-6351 Thank you, Karen, for highlighting the best and worst states for entrepreneurship. I work with the Campaign for Free Enterprise, a project of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and we believe that entrepreneurs are critical to our country because they create innovations that improve our quality of life, and they create companies which, in turn, create jobs. Your article provides key insights into the qualities that make certain states optimal environments for entrepreneurs. In fact, we recently published an interesting study called "Enterprising States," which looks at state policies and their impact on job creation (http://www.uschamber.com/reports/enterprising-states-2011). We found that states must carry out short-term strategies to jumpstart and/or sustain a recovery and cut costs to make state governments more efficient. Simultaneously, though, they must invest in innovations and solutions that will foster long-term economic growth while reining in taxes and regulations that stifle job creation. Policies like these will improve conditions for entrepreneurs so that they can do what they do best -- create economic growth and create jobs. -Hilary, www.freeenterprise.com www.facebook.com/AmericanFreeEnterprise Thank
