Utah ranks No. 2 in the recently released Pollina Corporate Top 10 Pro-Business States for 2010. The annual report lauds Utah as part of an elite group of states "that serve as a model for the rest of the country in job retention and creation." Last week, Business Facilities magazine ranked Utah in the Top Ten in categories ranging from quality of life to tax structure in its 2010 Rankings Report. Utah was No. 1 in Quality of Life, No. 2 for Best Education Climate and No. 3 for Best Business Climate.
