Phoenix at the top for business recruitment

Phoenix sweats out top ranking for business recruitment, from the Business Journal of Phoenix, reports that Phoenix claimed the number one ranking from Expansion Management magazine as the best place for recruitment and attraction, and Arizona ranked as the top state. Maricopa County came in at number 4 for counties in the U.S. Two Arizona cities also made the midsize list: Tucson at No. 4 and Flagstaff at No. 5. Yuma came in at 7th on the small cities list. The magazine, geared to company executives looking to expand or relocate their facilities, worked with the National Policy Council think tank to develop the rankings. The council analyzed the relocation activity of 19 million companies over the past eight years to determine the most popular commercial relocation destinations.
