The US Bureau of Economic Analysis released its numbers on state GDP (called Gross State Product or GSP) for 2009 yesterday. The numbers are now up on usgovernmentspending.com. So now we can see the winners and the losers in the Great Recession.
Here are the top winners:
| State | Growth Rate |
| Oklahoma | 6.6% |
| Wyoming | 5.4% |
| North Dakota | 3.9% |
| Alaska | 3.5% |
| Louisiana | 2.5% |
Looks like the energy states were doing best. Now here are the big losers:
| State | Growth Rate |
| Nevada | -6.4% |
| Michigan | -5.2% |
| New York | -4.3% |
| Arizona | -3.9% |
| Indiana | -3.6% |
Looks like two housing-crash states and two deep-blue basket cases. But Indiana?
