Joint Economic Committee Releases New State-by-State Report
" A new report released today by the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) provides a snapshot of the current economic climate in each state, offering policy makers easy access to the major economic indicators in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the areas of jobs, unemployment, personal earnings and housing.

“Understanding the Economy: State-by-State Snapshots” offers a gauge of the economic landscape of each state, allowing for quick comparisons with other states and to the overall U.S. economy.

“We believe the state reports are a useful resource for Members of Congress and other policy makers as well as interested individuals who want access to fresh, reliable, state-specific data without having to dig around for it,” said Chair of the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney. “These state pages offer a guide to the state of local economies across the country, helping us to better understand the specific impacts of the Great Recession and also to see where growth and recovery have begun to take hold.".."
