Arkansas has been named one of the top states for overall economic outlook for 2025, according to a new study.
The American Legislative Exchange Council ranked Arkansas #10 for economic outlook in its ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index.
“Pro-growth policies make a difference, and Arkansas’ steady rise in national rankings proves it,” Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a press release. “Arkansas is setting the standard through our commonsense, conservative approach — cutting taxes, growing our workforce, and investing in education — creating an economy that is stronger than ever before.”
Arkansas ranked first in the estate/inheritance and right-to-work subcategories. The index is based on 15 state policy variables.
“Arkansas’ economy is thriving, and we are building momentum in our state thanks to the leadership of Gov. Sanders and the policies enacted by the Arkansas General Assembly,” Secretary of Commerce Hugh McDonald said in a press release. “The positive economic outlook for Arkansas tells us what we already know: we are treasuring and promoting our beautiful state as a place people want to live, raise a family and build a business.”
