Minneapolis is No. 1 in MarketWatch Study of Best Metro Centers for Business
Forget the bone-chilling winters, the Buick-sized summer mosquitoes and the "Minnesota Nice" demeanor mocked in the film "Fargo."
Minneapolis-St. Paul is where it's at when it comes to business, much more so than any other of the nation's major urban areas. The Twin Cities ranked at the top of a MarketWatch study on the nation's best metro centers for business, winning by a wide margin. Minneapolis-St. Paul got 329 points, 38 points ahead of second-place Denver.
A healthy collection of companies - old and new, small and large, public and private - put the greater Twin Cities near the top in many categories in the study, which measured the concentration of businesses in the nation's 50 most populous markets, as well as the job picture in each city. Minneapolis-St. Paul proved resilient in keeping its jobless rate low in a check of unemployment statistics.
