The US economy is a composite of the economies of the 50 states and DC that make up that economy.
We recently ranked the economies of all 50 states and DC based on six economic measures: unemployment rate, job growth, GDP per capita, GDP growth, average wages, and wage growth. The full method and sources for our ranking can be found here.
Some places, like Washington state, Colorado, and the District of Columbia, performed very well across several of those measures, and their overall economic situation is strong. Other states, like Mississippi, Alaska, and Arkansas struggled across the board.
Looking at all of these measures together, as we did in our ranking, gives a clearer picture of economic conditions across America.
Here are maps showing how each state and DC fared on each of those measures.
