“This year, Massachusetts fell to 38th place in CNBC’s annual ranking of the best states to do business in. That is a dramatic drop from 5th place in 2010 and even the 15th place ranking Mass. was awarded in 2023; it is the lowest ranking for Mass. since the rankings were introduced in 2007.
To reverse this trend, we must understand what’s driving it.
The truth is, Massachusetts has become a difficult place for businesses of all sizes to thrive. In fact, for the last nine months of available data, there were more business deaths than new births in the commonwealth.

Chris Anderson, Jay Ash, and Jim Stergios share what motivated them to found the Mass Opportunity Alliance and what they believe Massachusetts needs to get back on track.
