Utah is among the top five states for manufacturing and logistics, according to a report released Thursday.
The 2009 Manufacturing and Logistics Report Card was produced by the Ball State University Center for Business and Economic Research. It lists Utah, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas and Alabama as the top states.
Each state received letter grades in seven categories. Utah received A's for human capital and benefit costs; B's for productivity and innovation and tax climate; a C for manufacturing and global position; and a C-plus for logistics. Utah was third-ranked for human capital and fifth in benefit costs.
The worst five states are Alaska, Maine, New York, West Virginia and Rhode Island, the report said.
