A more an important metric would be the debt to income ratios. US debt/income = 1.1 not very healthy IMO ideally should be < 0.5. On that basis, if each state were renamed for a comparable nation it would be a different picture altogether.

The encouraging thing is the productivity per unit of population comparison. This tells me that IF we could uncouple the massive debt that is holding back investment, our economy and job growth would come roaring back. I suspect that we would even need to import workers to fill the jobs.
