Indianapolis, In. — Indiana’s economy continues to thrive, making our state a great place to live and work. Our unemployment rate remains lower than both the national rate and the rates of all neighboring states, and we have the third-highest real per-capita income growth in the nation, according to the most recent data from the federal government’s Bureau of Economic Analysis. Additionally, Indiana has made several other economic achievements:
- Indiana is in the top 10 states for doing business, according to Chief Executive Magazine, Area Development Magazine and Site Selection Magazine. CNBC’s 2017 report card on “America’s Top States for Business” ranked Indiana No. 2 in the nation for lowest cost of doing business, No. 2 in the nation for lowest cost of living and No. 3 in the nation for infrastructure.
- The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council’s “Small Business Policy Index 2018” ranked Indiana the eighth most entrepreneur-friendly state.
- The American Legislative Exchange Council rates Indiana’s economic outlook No. 3 in the nation based on our pro-growth policies.
I’m pleased with the progress our state continues to make, and as your state senator, I will continue to support policies that make Indiana a state that works.
