Colorado ranked 5th Best State Economy
Colorado ranked 5nd Best Economy according to WalletHub. The ranking compared each of the 50 states—plus the District of Colombia—across 23 metrics ranging from GDP growth and business startup activity to venture-capital funding per-capita and percentage of jobs held by scientists and engineers. Each measure was weighted and divided into one of three categories: economic activity, economic health and innovation potential.
