We’ve been saying this for awhile. Heck, they even cited our article

But the proof is in the stats, as Livability.com has ranked Hoboken among the 50 Best Cities for Entrepreneurs.

According to the site, “We talked about how great places to live attract great people and attract the businesses that want to hire them. All of these things are inarguably related. We dipped into our database and pulled out both economic indicators and quality of life indicators to create a ranking of great places to start a business — in places workers will want to live.”

Hoboken ranks 47th on their list, citing our Business Growth from 2011-2015 at 16% and Employment Growth over that same period at 13%.

“In fact, the time has never been better for entrepreneurs in Hoboken, with resources for prospective innovators including NJ Tech Meetup, NJ Social Entrepreneurship Network, and LaunchNJ.”
