twitterLas Vegas, St. George rank high in business study
Thursday, July 12, 2001 | 10:40 a.m.
Las Vegas ranks second in the nation among cities its size in growth of entrepreneurial companies, said a report issued Wednesday by the National Commission on Entrepreneurship (NCOE).
Austin, Texas, topped the list in the same category -- cities with a population between 750,000 and 1 million.
NCOE is a think tank educating policymakers about the nature of entrepreneurs.
The study ranked St. George, Utah -- a city north of Las Vegas near the junction of Arizona, Utah and Nevada -- second among cities with a population between 150,000 and 300,000. Provo, Utah, ranked first.
The report called "High-Growth Companies: Mapping America's Entrepreneurial Landscape," used data from the U.S. Census Bureau to track the development of high-growth companies, those with 15 percent employment growth or 100 percent growth over five years.
