Washington Has the 2nd Best State Economy

Our friends at Wallet Hub recently ranked every state for best and worst state economies. Proud to say Washington State was ranked second place. I'll take it!

Economy of Washington (1=Best-Performing; 25=Avg.)
8th – GDP Growth
1st – % of Fast-Growing Firms
1st – Exports per Capita
8th – Business Startup Activity
4th – % of Jobs in High-Tech Industries
12th – Annual Median Household Income
9th – Nonfarm Payrolls Change
13th – Immigration of U.S. Knowledge Workers

If you're looking for first place, that belongs to good ol' Utah.

We could be worse, though. A lot worse! New Mexico, Maine, West Virginia, Arkansas and Mississippi round out the bottom five.
