Perhaps BL will listen to me when I tell him about statistics but I doubt it.
did you know that gdp per capital something something is widening in certain states despite overall GDP not?
California, Florida, and Texas have shown varying GDP growth rates in recent years. Here's a comparison based on recent data:
California:
California's GDP growth rate has been around 2.3% per year between 2020 and 2023. However, there was a notable increase to 6.1% in 2023 compared to the previous year. Over the longer term, California's economy has grown at a rate of 111% over the past 25 years, which is faster than the national average but slower than Texas's growth rate over the same period.
Florida:
Florida has experienced a more robust growth rate, with a GDP increase of 4.6% per year since 2020. This indicates a higher growth trajectory compared to California in the recent period.
Texas:
Texas has shown a GDP growth rate of 3.9% per year since 2020, which is also significantly higher than California's rate for the same period. Over the long term, Texas's economy has grown by 128% over the past 25 years, surpassing both California and the national average.
In summary, while California has a large and diverse economy, its GDP growth rate in recent years has been outpaced by both Florida and Texas. However, California's economy remains substantial, with its GDP increasing to nearly $3.9 trillion in 2023, maintaining its status as the fifth largest economy in the world.
These figures are based on data from various sources including the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Governor of California's office, and economic analyses from institutions like UCLA Anderson School of Management and the Center for Jobs.
