Earlier this week, Bentonville think tank Heartland Forward released a report of the entrepreneurial status of each state. Here were some of the findings...

• Results for now: The report shows that a few states in the heartland are leading in the top 25. 16 heartland states held positions in the bottom 20. The rankings are expected to shift, and the Heartland Forward team made an interactive calculator to follow it. 
• The work: The “lag” of the heartland states is not new, nor surprising. That is why Heartland Forward does what it does. The organization works at “supporting entrepreneurs to help drive the economy.”
