if Wyoming's GDP doubles from $1 to $2, is that really so much better than another state going from $50 to $60?

Growth often looks better when it is from a small base. Among the states with the most rapidly growing GDPs are four of the eight least populated states. Their economies are small even when compared to weakened states like Michigan. A very modest growth in absolute GDP can translate into high double-digit growth. Absolute growth has to be remarkable to make the GDP growth rate of a large state top the national average. The only large state economy that was marked by that level of growth was Texas, the second largest state by GDP.

I knew Michigan was #1 before I clicked the thread.

libtard capital of the USA.

Though seems a few people have woken up... new GOP Gov eliminating the ridiculous small business tax really has job prospects looking up for once. Could be too little too late though.
 
People are stupid. Take the OP for example. Fastest growing means little. Pakistan could grow 100x as fast as America and it means jack shit.
 
Most of the states at the top are there either from exploiting natural resources or because they had such shitty econmies before that there was tons of room for growth.
 
I kind of take this with a grain of salt, but i did not even read the artcle, so maybe it was already discussed.

I mean...you could grow a lot, but you could have had nothing before....

Meanwhile, you could have grown a little, but the state has managed to keep jobs instead of losing.
