How Does California's Economic Performance Compare to the Other States?
Compare50.org allows users to display trends on how one state’s economy has performed over time, compared with other states, and to the United States as a whole. The website draws on data put together for a Next 10 report authored by Dr. David Neumark and Jennifer Muz at the Center for Economics & Public Policy at the University of California, Irvine, with additional research prepared for the website by Beacon Economics. For access to the original data files used to create the charts displayed on Compare50.org, please email sarah@next10.org.
