Colorado has 2nd-best economy in US, home to two of ‘best places to live’
It’s no secret Colorado is a great place to live and one big factor in the appeal of the state is the booming economy.
According to US News and World Report, Colorado has the second-best economy in the country among all US states, topped only by Utah.
A driving force behind this high ranking is a top rank in the ’employment’ category of criteria included in the publication’s analysis. With Colorado ranking first in the nation in terms of employment, job growth is at 3.1% in the Centennial State compared to a national average of 1.4%.
Overall, the state ranked 16th nationwide – not quite as impressive, but still good.
Colorado also ranked a high fifth-place in the ‘education’ category of criteria.
The highest ranked state across all categories is currently Washington, though Colorado does have a few individual cities that ranked among ‘best places to live’ for 2022 and 2023.
Colorado Springs ranked as the second-best city to live in nationwide and Boulder ranked fourth.
