The Southeast leads all U.S. regions in GDP, reaching $6.5 trillion in Q3 2024, driven by Florida ($1.7 trillion) and Georgia ($888 billion). The Far West follows closely at $5.8 trillion, with California alone contributing $4.1 trillion, while the Mideast ranks third at $5.0 trillion, powered by New York ($2.3 trillion) and Pennsylvania ($1.0 trillion).

California has the largest economy out of all states by a wide margin, driven by the state’s strong presence in a diverse range of industries including its technology sector in Silicon Valley, entertainment industry in Hollywood, and agricultural sector in the Central Valley.

Texas is the top energy producer in the country, and also has a significant presence in manufacturing, including aerospace and aviation.

New York ranks as third, with its economy driven primarily by its dominant finance and insurance sector—including Wall Street and major banks—alongside healthcare, technology, and professional services, with New York City serving as a global hub for these industries.
