I went to this site,and it appears that purveyors of the information shared on Wikipedia are not always the best sources of reliable data. Even Wikipedia is having doubts, as the writing appears to have little validity.... Wikipedia themselves are questioning the information on the first line of this writing. Wikipedia is never considered a reliable source for research purposes.... anyone can write anything here.

The stats are pulled from the International Monetary Fund's statistics concerning the GDP.

If anyone was TRULY interested in challenging the data, pull out the statistics for individual state GDP and compare.


It's amazing how a wikipedia article that at least CITES its source is attacked for "credibility problems," yet no similar call or concern over the non-sourced and questionable wholesale claims of other posters.

Here's another cite for you, which actually casts FLorida in an even BETTER light, comparing ITS GDP with that of SOUTH KOREA:

131 – US States Renamed For Countries With Similar GDPs « Strange Maps


And this link, which states that five states, including Florida, make up more than 40% of the USA's entire GDP: http://www.mybudget360.com/wp-conten...gdp-states.png

Sorry folks, but no matter how "unreliable" you think an outside source is that at least HAS statistics to back up its findings, those outside sources are 100X more reliable than "my cousin Jim Bob lost his job in Florida, and so Florida has no jobs." Or, "I can't find a job making more than $8/hour working at a restaurant, so you too won't be able to do any better."
