Washington ranked as nation's strongest state economy
A recession may eventually arrive, say economists, but for now Washington’s economy is white hot, according to a WalletHub report released Monday.
The personal finance website ranked the Evergreen State’s economy the best in the country based on three criteria: economic activity, economic health, and innovation potential.
Utah, California, Massachusetts and New Hampshire rounded out the top five. Among Pacific Northwest states, Oregon was No. 9 and Idaho was No. 13. The worst-performing state was West Virginia.
Washington topped the charts in several categories that contributed to its ranking, said Julie Gonzelez, a WalletHub analyst, in a message to the Business Journal.
