"Chief Executive’s survey of CEOs for the magazine’s ranking of Best and Worst States for Business 2021 found 44 percent were “more open than before to examining new locations … In a world of remote work, reshuffled markets and flat-out rethinking of nearly every aspect of business, the hearts and minds of CEOs are very much up for grabs.” In 2022, Texas again ranked first, a position it has held every time Chief Executive has done the list since 2001.


"Texas’ ability to attract business is helping fuel its overall population increase as the state heads toward the 30 million mark. The U.S. Census Bureau’s population estimates show the state at 29.5 million in 2021, with 310,288 people added between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021. Net migration was 63.6 percent of that increase, notes the Texas Demographic Center."
