Talent Tribune ranked Hays sixth in the nation, according to a report published Monday.

“In Hays, the largest city in northwest Kansas and the home of Fort Hays State University, education and health care are the two major industries,” the website said in its report. “Hays achieved fourth on our list for small business job growth, with a 10 percent increase in employees year over year. With 76.8 percent of the population over 16 years in the labor force, that job growth is incredibly important. The cost of living is low, and small businesses keep growing to their full potential.”
