Says ABJ (via Forbes):
Austin got kudos for its angel investment groups, business-friendly tax structure and support for business development in sectors like tech.
Here are the top 10 cities.The Austin metro area, which has doubled its population growth in the last 20 years, is often used as a test market by national companies because its large minority population reflects the nation's future demographic mix," Fortune said.
"With University of Texas college students in residence, the area offers entrepreneurial opportunities for the youth market and skilled workers for local businesses. One-third of the area's payroll is related to technology jobs, contributing to Austin's reputation for having one of the most educated workforces in the nation."
But it isn't all roses for Austin. Fortune cited some complaints from business owners such as transportation issues and lack of flights to desired markets.

As a frequent business traveler and Austinite, I would say it's a close call between my pleasure of living in a great city and my frustration with the non-hub airport. But hey, if Bergstrom was a hub airport, that would indicate that Austin was several million people, and that will not be good thing. When luring people to move to Austin, be careful what you wish for. That comes from someone who lives in Orange County, CA for 10+ years.
