Knoxville, Tennessee Ranks Top Ten for Jobs and Business, Again
Knoxville continues to remain in the top cities in the country to conduct business.
Knoxville is again among the best cities in the country to do business, according to Forbes magazine’s 2008 rankings released Wednesday.
As we are well aware of here at Holrob Communities, the cost of living in Knoxville is among the lowest in the nation. This and the general cost of doing business in Knoxville were chief among the reasons for this honor.
The magazine cited the region’s relatively low business costs — 14 percent below the national average — as one of Knoxville’s strengths.
Good work!
As a Knoxville transplant for nearly three years now, I'm very proud of our consistent recognition for being one of the top ten cities for careers and business. I developed my career skills in larger markets like Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and San Francisco but decided Knoxville provided the right balance of career opportunities and cost of living. The educated work force and job growth potential make Knoxville top ten in my book.
