Best & Worst State Economies (2025)
from WalletHub, June 2, 2025
U.S. economic growth depends heavily on the performance of individual states. But some contribute more than others. California, for instance, has outranked Japan as the world’s fourth-largest economy in 2024, with a GDP of roughly $4.17 trillion. On the other hand, Vermont’s gross domestic product is around $45.7 billion, nearly 91 times smaller than California’s economic output.
In order to determine which states are pulling the most weight even during this time of economic difficulty caused by inflation, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 28 key indicators of economic performance and strength.
