States With the Best Economies?

WalletHub's recent analysis compared the economic performance of the 50 states and the District of Columbia across three key dimensions: economic activity, economic health and innovation potential.

us One factor to take into account when picking where to live is how healthy the economy is in the state of your choice—since that can play out in all sorts of ways, from changes in taxes to the quality and quantity of services. A recent article from GlobeSt.com’s sister publication, ALM’s BenefitsPro.com , looked at WalletHub’s latest analysis, which compared the economic performance of the 50 states and the District of Columbia across three key dimensions: economic activity, economic health and innovation potential. WalletHub pointed out in its evaluation that, even if the economy as a whole thrives—as predicted by the International Labour Organization—individual states could have a better, or worse, time of it, depending on the condition of their own economies. Some of the top states are as follows: Oregon: At ninth place for economic health, Oregon also finished 10th for economic activity and 13th for innovation potential. Texas: The Lone Star State was third in the country for economic activity, but came in at 20th place for innovation potential. It finished in the bottom half of the states, at 34th, for economic health. New York: For economic activity, New York placed sixth in the country. Innovation potential came in at 11th place, while economic health was only 27th. District of Columbia: D.C. finished first in the nation for economic health. Innovation potential came in at 10th place, while economic activity placed 17th. To check out the full list and read more, check out the full article at BenefitsPro.com
