Map shows US states with best—and worst—economies
Incorporating dozens of metrics into its analysis, WalletHub created a ranking of the strongest economies in the U.S.
Out of all 50 states, Massachusetts finished at the top with an overall score of 70.84, beating second-place Utah (69.18) by more than a point. As well as ranking first in terms of innovation potential, Massachusetts placed sixth in economic activity and 17th in economic health.
Washington placed third at 68.97, thanks largely to its innovation potential, leading position in the new technology space and high tech-sector employment.
California, which recently overtook Japan to become the world's fourth largest economy in terms of GDP, ranked fourth at 67.43.
At the bottom of the rankings were Hawaii (33.09), West Virginia (32.34) and Iowa (31.61) in 51st place (results included the District of Columbia in 12th place).
And in this one map trump’s animus toward the blue states is laid bare. Just why the fuck do you think he’s purposely ruining the American biomedical enterprise?
The map is not labeled, there is no full ranking in the article, nor did I see a link to anything with a list. Yes, I can see the colors but that does not show where exactly each state lands.
If you tap on each state (on mobile device) or hover over each state (on desktop) it gives you that information.
Thank you!
The legend is there but yeah I was hoping for a full list.
Data and tables are better than graphs most of the time. Graphs are just fancy. Or at least that’s my unpopular opinion.
It's a shame considering the key and explanation that it's an interactive map is right there:
