Which U.S. states are ideal and worst for small businesses? The Small Business and Enterprise Council has published a ranking of states in their friendliness for small businesses.

The friendliest states: 1)South Dakota, 2)Nevada, 3)Wyoming, 4)Washington, 5)Florida. The worst: 47) Iowa, 48) California, 49) Minnesota, 50) New Jersey, and 51) District of Columbia.

I have lived in Iowa for over 20 years, to I figure I’m an Iowan (or “Hawkeye,” I guess.)  But I wasn’t aware that Iowa ranked so low in business friendliness.  Maybe I should move to Florida.
