Fracking Good Times: North Dakota Tops U.S. Income Gains
October 1, 2014
North Dakota leads the nation in personal income growth. No other state even comes close.
From 2008 to 2012, North Dakotans’ per-capita income jumped 31 percent to $57,367, the highest of any state and just behind Washington, D.C., according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
South Dakota came in a distant second at 10 percent.
A Federal Reserve study issued last week showed North Dakota leading the nation in "progress toward recovery" from 2007 to 2013.
