D+ for cost of living. Dead last for business friendliness. Same survey. Same year. Make it make sense. CNBC just released its 20th annual Top States for Business report, and New Jersey's report card is basically a case study in "great place to live, expensive place to prove it." I don't think quality of life and affordability have to cancel each other out. PA1fmPivlSV TmGDM3P2MJi ThUWx1lr0DA N5goUknNV48 JL7QdzuvL6h VAEMa0N9D54
