<div id="pastingspan1"><div id="pastingspan1">With a healthy median household income and a job growth rate that continues to rise, Georgia has become a prime destination for businesses. The proof is in the numbers &#8211;Georgia ranked <a href="http://siteselection.com/issues/2015/nov/cover.cfm?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=georgia-on-my-mind-3721" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">No. 1 in Site Selection&#8217;s annual ranking of state business climates</a>.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>With the <a href="http://www.forbes.com/places/ga/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=georgia-on-my-mind-3721" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">job growth rate</a> at 2.6 percent and a median household income of nearly $49,000, the Peach State has enjoyed a comfortable outlook over the past year. The state&#8217;s unemployment rate hovered around the 10 percent mark throughout the early part of the decade, but that rate has recently dropped to 5.5 percent. All of these factors have contributed to Georgia being one of the top states for business in the country.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&#8220;Once again, Georgia has been named the top state in which to do business, reflecting our success in strengthening Georgia&#8217;s economic environment and creating a top-notch workforce,&#8221; Georgia Governor Nathan Deal <a href="http://www.georgia.org/newsroom/press-releases/georgia-ranked-no-1-state-in-u-s-for-business/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=georgia-on-my-mind-3721" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">said in a release</a> from The Georgia Department of Economic Development. &#8220;Through collaborative public-private sector efforts, we have created hundreds of thousands of jobs for families, invested millions in our local communities and improved the overall quality of life for our citizens. This ranking is not only a testament to our strong business climate, but it also speaks to the commitment and support from our industry partners, communities and the people of Georgia.&#8221;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Georgia&#8217;s economic stability has benefited more than one type of business &#8211; it&#8217;s also one of the best states for franchising.
