Bismarck, Fargo Rank High on Best Performing Cities List

| 1/17/2013

Two North Dakota cities are in the top five on a best-performing city list. According to the 2012 Milken Institute Best-Performing Cities Index (179 smallest metro listing), Fargo ranked fifth and Bismarck was third on the list.

“These rankings by the Milken Institute are evidence of North Dakota’s strong economy, diverse community offerings and good quality of life,” North Dakota Commerce Commissioner Alan Anderson said. “It is also strong evidence that local leaders and business people are working hard to support a growing economy that is creating new jobs while the opposite is true in many other states.”

Cities on the list were ranked on job, wage and salary, and technology growth.
