Arizona slips to 12th

in CNBC poll of top states for business


Arizona came in 12th in CNBC's ranking of America's Top States for Doing Business-2008, down from last year's 10th place finish.

Texas was No. 1. Rounding out the top five were Virginia, Utah, Idaho and Colorado.

To create the list, CNBC scored the 50 states in categories from education to economy and transportation to cost of living.

According to CNBC, Texas' "large population, abundance of natural resources, and diverse population and geography have created a dynamic economy." Texas' booming energy industry in a time of record oil prices, however, is the main reason the state rose to the top this year, the network said.

Arizona scored highest - at No. 6 - in business friendliness and work force categories. The state also came if fairly high - eighth - for its economy, and marked its worst score in education, coming in 43rd among states.

For a complete list of the rankings: www.cnbc.com/id/25447829.
