While I've also read that neighboring Illinois ranks 48th on the business friendly list.

But is that correlation actually causal? We've have to compare the unemployment rates with the other business friendly states to actually come close to drawing that conclusion. Since the OP article mentioned the counties fell primarily in the midwest around natural gas areas and what not and didn't mention anything about the east coast business friendly states, I'm guessing that they didn't make that list. Sure, business friendly policies may play a role, but based on just that information it doesn't look like enough to be a causal relationship.
