BLUEGRASS RANKINGS
There are numerous national rankings of best places produced every year. Whether it is business location, quality of life, education, or anything else Lexington is among the best places in the nation. The following is a selection of the most current rankings.
Lexington among Best Cities for Riding Out a Recession, according to BusinessWeek
Lexington was recently named 13th of the “Best Cities for Riding Out a Recession” by BusinessWeek magazine. The rankings were based on cities over 200,000 people with an unemployment rate under 6.1%. Using US Census Bureau data, BusinessWeek looked at the percentage of the workforce in each of the employment categories. Though BusinessWeek stressed that the rankings to do not mean that any of the cities are recession-proof, those cities with diversified economies and a large percentage of their workforce in strong areas such as healthcare and education will be better able to ride out the downturn in the economy. For Lexington specifically, BusinessWeek states, “Lexington, home to dozens of major companies, the University of Kentucky, and horse farms, is a diverse economy with a mix of agriculture, government, health care, and education.”
