Forbes: Boise is No. 2 for business, careers. Spokane #9

Of cities in the top 10, only Boise and Raleigh, N.C., have been the most consistent top performers in recent years.

Just you wait, Raleigh. There’s always next year.

Boise is the second-best place in the country for business and careers, according to Forbes magazine.

For the fourth straight year, Boise landed in the top 5 in what may be the most prestigious of city rankings compiled by national business magazines. A high Forbes ranking provides a marketing tool for state and local business recruiters like the Idaho Commerce Department and the Boise Valley Economic Partnership.
