Wash & Calif Best Economies - Alaska & Louisiana Worst

[Truman62]

A recent study from WalletHub ranked the 50 U.S. states and D.C. by economic performance and health. The analysis used data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census to evaluate each state on 28 metrics, including unemployment rates, exports, and the ability to develop startup companies.

Washington topped the list of best state economies, ranking third on economic activity, seventh on economic health, and second on innovation potential. Utah and California rounded out the top three state economies.

At the bottom of the list were Louisiana, Alaska, and West Virginia.

As states emerge from downturns caused by the coronavirus pandemic, several experts expressed that vaccination rates and public health measures were key to stimulating recovering economies.

"The factors driving vaccination rates also drive the other economic outcomes," University of Oklahoma Professor Gregory Burge wrote to Yahoo Finance in an email, warning against drawing conclusions from correlation. "Having said all of that, the simple intuition that higher rates of vaccination are a good thing for both human and economic health in a state."

Given the availability of vaccines and booster shots, Burge also encouraged states to loosen remaining COVID restrictions.

Since recoveries so closely linked to vaccine rates, no wonder the strong Trumper/Anti-Vax states so LOW on the list.

I bet Dan is doing all he can to keep Alaska at the bottom!

Dan and Jim are ashamed for
themselves AND their State!

[Truman62]

You Guys COMPLAIN about California,
but Calif and Wash have two of the
BEST Economies!

Dan ... are ashamed for themselves AND their State!

Nope.  Alaska is ranked the most patriotic state in America.  Plus, Alaska is awash in oil revenue.  So I have no idea what you’re talking about.


You are the one who is always trashing your home state of Texas.  So isn’t it really you who is ashamed of your state rather than I?

Yeah, but not about their exports, unemployment rate, and startup companies.  You’re not very intelligent, are you?

I’m not unemployed.  I don’t block exports.  And I actually started a company.  So once again you are wrong.


What are you doing to promote Texas exports, welsher62?

I'm trying to get rid of Gov Abbutt, who is messing up Texas' business future and scaring them away!

Businesses don't like his new abortion policies.  Some companies moving here can't bring ANY of their
employees, because NONE of them want to come - ATI of Illinois found that out!
And Texas is now looking at criminalizing employers who pay to send their employees out of state for
an abortion.  How fucked up is that?

Also, Abbutt messed with Mexico and now they are changing a train route that was going to ship stuff
through Texas from Mexico up to Canada.  Long-term trans-shipments, but they don't want anything
to do with a crazy governor like Abbutt, so they are changing the route OUT of Texas now!

Add to that AG Ken Paxton and Lt Gov Dan Patrick who started a War against transgenders and we have
a very UNFRIENDLY Texas towards Americans.

Why is Texas so fucked up now?  GOP doesn't have enough enemies in the world?

It’s none of their business.  It’s what the people of Texas want.

Horse shit!  People are flocking to free states, like Texas and Florida away from tyrant states, like California, New York, and Illinois.

Alaska is one big socialist welfare state.

DJ cashes his welfare check every year.

[sine-qua-non]

I lived in AK for ten hrs and got State Oil royalty checks each year.

Not the same as DemoncRats taxpayers funded welfare is it as you ignorantly assume, is it JW

Btw, Cali and WA have the most homeless and welfare recipients!  How come is that ?
