North Carolina is America’s Top State for Business in 2025

With a solid economy, a world-class workforce, and a wealth of corporate hospitality, North Carolina is America’s Top State for Business in 2025.
The Tar Heel State is on a roll. It captured top honors in the annual CNBC rankings in 2022 and 2023, and it was runner-up in 2021 and 2024 — missing the top spot last year by just three points to Virginia, which slips this year to its lowest position among states since 2018.
North Carolina is not only winning the CNBC rankings, it’s also attracting a steady stream of new business.
“North Carolina offers the ideal combination of talent, infrastructure, and forward-thinking leadership to support our mission to reshape aviation,” said Tom O’Leary, CEO and co-founder of JetZero, an aviation startup manufacturing fuel-efficient airliners, which announced June 12 that it will build its first factory, with 14,500 jobs, in Greensboro.
Also in June, Amazon announced it would invest $10 billion to build new data centers in North Carolina, on top of the $12 billion the company says it has invested in the state since 2010.
“This latest expansion is a testament to the state’s thriving business ecosystem and talented workforce,” the company said in a statement June 4.

The company I work for does business in several areas of NC. I stayed in the Charlotte area last year and enjoyed my time. The scope of our jobs involved me driving to several different small towns, so I covered a good bit of the rural areas. Very beautiful. Like everywhere else, there are blemishes here and there, but overall it seems like a great place to be.

I get stories about these almost monthly from different publications
It’s the first time I’ve seen North Carolina. They are usually top five but I just saw three other lists say Texas was number one.
They all have different criteria. North Carolina, Texas and Florida are cleaning up

LA is tied at 46. If you total the population of the four states lower or tied to it, LA has more people than those combined.

Got northerners moving in every day.
Some lists just label one criteria.
Would love for the conservative ones to stay.
But the rest are going to cause a problem and make the business go away.
