The Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers metropolitan statistical area ranks second among "The Best Cities for Recession Recovery," compiled by Forbes magazine last week.
The region includes Benton, Washington and Madison counties in Arkansas and McDonald County in Missouri. It ranks high for its relatively low unemployment rating, potential growth of gross domestic product, housing affordability and the presence of major employer Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
Topping the list was the Austin-Round Rock region of Texas, which boasts computer giant Dell and a diverse group of other employers.
