Utah was one of the top gainers and finished ninth among states in a ranking of CEO ratings of states for job growth and business.
Utah gained six spots from a year earlier, making it the third-biggest gainer in Chief Executive magazine's annual "Best & Worst States" survey. States were evaluated in January on several factors, including proximity to markets and resources, regulation, tax policies, work-force quality, education resources, quality of living and infrastructure.
Texas was top-ranked for the fifth consecutive year. It was followed by North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Nevada.
California was voted the worst state.
