The Davos-based World Economic Forum has issued its 2008-09 Global Competitiveness Report and it makes for interesting reading. The rankings are said to reflect "a country's ability to provide rising prosperity to its citizenry."
In a nutshell .... the USA remains most competitive. In other findings, however:
Canada cracks the Top 10, up 3 places from its 2007-08 ranking. And France climbed two places to come in at 16th, up from last year's 18th spot.
