Economic indicators for the fifty states and the District of Columbia.
Broadly defined, a healthy economy is typically one that has a stable and strong rate of economic growth (gross state product, in this case) and low unemployment, among many other factors. The table below displays and compares some of those most important economic indicators for the fifty states and the District of Columbia.
Note: Gross state product (GSP) on its own is not necessarily an indicator of economic health; GSP may also be influenced by state population size. Many factors must be looked at together to assess state economic health.
