Four states have not yet fully recovered from the Great Recession. As of the third quarter of last year, the latest data available, the economies of Louisiana, Wyoming, Connecticut and Alaska were still smaller than when the recession ended in June 2009.
Other states that have recovered have seen their economic recoveries stall out. Those include Minnesota, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota and West Virginia.
States on the East and West coasts, on the other hand, are seeing solid growth, including Washington and Oregon.
Only two other states, Utah and Georgia, are seeing growth of more than 3 percent a year — the Trump administration's annual target for the overall U.S. growth.
