trading floor at T. Rowe Price (Photo by Mitro Hood)A recent national study that compares the economic strengths of major metropolitan areas has ranked Baltimore as the eleventh most competitive place in the country. (They're talking about economic competitiveness, not trying to imply that we're all cut-throat.)
The rankings, compiled by the Beacon Hill Institute at Suffolk University, are based on eight categories: government & fiscal policy, security, infrastructure, human resources, technology, business incubation, openness, and environmental policy.
We used to be lumped in with Washington, DC (which ranks 5th this year). It's about time statistictians realized that Baltimore and Washington are two distinct cities.
