North Dakota: the "miracle" continues
North Dakota and Ohio Lead the Nation in "Coincident Indexes"
Coincident indexes are composite index measures based on four individual variables that summarize the current economic conditions in each state in a single statistic. The four state-level variables in each coincident index are: a) nonfarm payroll employment, b) average hours worked in manufacturing, c) the unemployment rate, and d) inflation-adjusted wage and salary disbursements.
From CarpeDiem, several data points, including this one:
Highest in the country. I wonder if the president of the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis caught that?Over the last six months, North Dakota's increase of 4.29% in its state coincident index was the highest in the country, followed again by Ohio at 2.92% and then by Massachusetts at 2.61%. The increase in the national index from February to July was 1.28%.
