Expert opinions on the best states for directors of supply chain operations

Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Directors of supply chain operations to find work opportunities?
Daniel Stanton
CEO, Mr. Supply Chain
Every business and government organization has a supply chain, and that means there are job opportunities for supply chain professionals virtually everywhere. I always encourage people to focus on industries and regions that align with their personal priorities, while factoring in the upside opportunities and downside risks. It's easier to get a job with a company that is growing, and in a region that has a strong economy. But you can still find opportunities with companies that are trying to cut costs in their supply chain to survive an economic downturn.
