WalletHub: 2017’s best & worst state economies

The economies of all 50 states are quite different and have their own series of problems and successes. Under President Donald Trump’s first year in office, how are the state economies faring in 2017?

WalletHub, a personal finance website, published a new study that looks at 2017’s best and wost state economies. It found that Washington has the best economy, while West Virginia has the worst economy in the United States.

Here are the best state economies:

Washington
California
Utah
Massachusetts
District of Columbia
Colorado
Oregon
New Hampshire
Maryland
Delaware

Here are the worst state economies:

West Virginia
Louisiana
Mississippi
Arkansas
Oklahoma
Alaska
Maine
Kentucky
Wyoming
North Dakota

Of course D.C. would have one of the best economies in the nation: it is the epicenter of legalized theft.
