Nine States Declared Economic Winners For 2013 -- The Washington Post

A reader sent me this link earlier this morning, from The Washington Post. It's a fun article to scroll through.

North Dakota won in the following categories:
  • fastest job growth
  • fastest growing wages
  • average hourly earnings
  • average weekly earnings
  • tax collections
North Dakota could not compete in these categories for obvious reasons (year-over-year comparisons):
  • fastest decline in unemployment
  • most frugal states
  • fastest rebounding housing market
Safety: go to the link to see how North Dakota compares with South Dakota. Be sure to scroll over the state to get the actual number; the color of state is not particularly helpful.

The article concludes:
So, congratulations to top officials in Colorado, North Dakota, North Carolina, New Mexico, New Jersey, Texas, Hawaii, Nevada and the District of Columbia: You won 2013, in some form or another.
