California, my home state, after about 5 years of solid growth ranking among the best performing states, expanded a dismal 1.5% in 2007, and limped passed the 1.8 trillion dollar mark. Maybe we can still salvage the rest of 2008.

California is impressive, if it was a country then it would be ranked as the 8 richest country in the world.

The South is an economic powerhouse! Led by the great state of Texas, of course.

 

[Sean in New Orleans]

It's interesting how the popuilation of Alabama is supposedly "higher" than Louisiana yet the GDP of Louisiana is $51 Billion higher than Alabama?!?

 

[juniorzzi]

Probably that thing called the Port of South Louisiana.

CT is doing very well.

We have a GDP larger than all the other New England states (except Mass) combined, including more than four times larger than Rhode Island. Not much further behind than Missouri, a much larger state. kay:

The GDP per capita has to be one of the highest. $61,000+

Wow, that's interesting. Rhode Island is quite low, as a contrast to us.

Louisiana is kind of surprising too.

Louisiana is due to all the new development as a result of Katrina, as well as the huge number of yuppies moving there.

[SlidellWeather]
