economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for
United States. Doing Business presents quantitative
indicators on business regulation and the protection of
property rights that can be compared across 190 economies;
for 2018 United States ranks 6. Doing Business measures
aspects of regulation affecting 11 areas of the life of a
business. Ten of these areas are included in this year’s
ranking on the ease of doing business: starting a business,
dealing with construction permits, getting electricity,
registering property, getting credit, protecting minority

measures features of labor market regulation, which is not
included in this year’s ranking. Data in Doing Business 2018
