Joint Economic Democrats Release March Economic Snapshot of the States

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Joint Economic Committee Democrats today released the “March Economic Snapshot of the States,” which tracks state economic performance, families’ economic security, how well states are preparing for economic future with investments in people’s health and learning, and the costs of living that weigh on working families’ minds. 

The snapshots survey the economic situation on the ground in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Although the U.S. economy overall continues its expansion from the Great Recession and associated financial crisis, the recovery can look very different from state to state, and even county to county. While some areas of the country have surged ahead, other regions are still struggling to regain their economic footing.

Each month, the snapshots also assess President Trump’s pledge to be “The greatest jobs producer that God ever created,” comparing actual job creation, unemployment, and wage growth under President Trump against performance in the late 1990s boom and each state’s all-time best.
