Posted: Today at 6:54 p.m.

Raleigh, N.C. — For the second year in a row, Raleigh has claimed the top spot on Forbes magazine's list of Best Places for Business and Careers.

The magazine cited local business costs that are 14 percent below the national average and the educated work force in the Triangle – 38 percent of adults possess a college degree, including 12 percent with a graduate degree.

But Forbes noted that Raleigh's "secret is out," with the nation's seventh-fastest growth rate.

Boise, Idaho, placed second on the Forbes list, followed by Fort Collins, Colo.; Des Moines, Iowa; and Lexington, Ky. Atlanta, Richmond, Va.; Olympia, Wash.; Spokane, Wash.; and Knoxville, Tenn. rounded out the Top 10.

Greenville ranked No. 8 on the magazine's list of Best Small Metros for Business.
