While 2020 should be a good year for the economy, there are many possible speed bumps. Uncertainty is a top consideration. Risk and opportunities will vary widely by sector and region. Regional economies will change at radically different paces. Success and growth will require an understanding of the "big picture" as well as what's happening at the neighborhood level.

Welcome to this State of the States Situation & Outlook (S&O) report. Updated weekly and as events occur, this subscription-based document and related data are unique in blending multi-sourced demographic-economic information. The S&O reports provide subscribers with demographic-economic knowledge that can help readers/users make better day-to-day and long-term decisions. More about this document below.

U.S. & State annual GDP interactive table.

Real GDP is in millions of chained 2012 dollars. Industry detail is based on the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Calculations are performed on unrounded data. Chained (2012) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2012 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The difference between the United States and sum-of-states reflects federal military and civilian activity located overseas, as well as the differences in source data used to estimate GDP by industry and the expenditures measure of real GDP.
