The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each EU and US region as of the third quarter of 2019 in millions of US dollars, the change from five years ago, and the GDP ten years prior.  The Western US grew by more over the past five years than the entire GDP of the Northern EU.  Additionally, all four US regions each had an improvement in their GDP over the past ten years that is larger than the entire GDP of the Northern EU and the Southern and Western US also grew by more in the period than the entire GDP of the Eastern EU.

The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each EU region as of the third quarter of 2019 in millions of euros, the change from five years ago, and the GDP ten years prior.  Every single region's economy grew both over the past five and ten years.

The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each US region as of the third quarter of 2019 in millions of dollars, the change from five years ago, and the GDP ten years prior.  Every single region's economy grew both over the past five and ten years.

The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each EU and US state as of the third quarter of 2019 in millions of US dollars, the change from five years ago, and the GDP ten years prior.  Germany continues to be the largest economy but California is hot on its tail.

The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each EU state as of the third quarter of 2019 in millions of euros, the change from five years ago, and the GDP ten years prior.  Germany's economy grew more over the past five years than 21 states' entire GDP.

The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each US state as of the third quarter of 2019 in millions of dollars, the change from five years ago, and the GDP ten years prior.  California's economy grew more over the past five years than the size of 44 states' entire economies.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU state as of January 2020 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  Czechia and Poland are the only states with an unemployment rate below three percent.

The chart above shows the ten-year interest rate in each EU state as of January 2020, the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  Eight states have a negative interest rate (up from six last month and up from zero last year).

All rates fell in February.  The yield curve widened from the previous month thus ending its narrowing streak of one month.  The one-month bill did not maintain the lowest rate at any point during the month.  All rates fell thus decreasing the risk of an inversion brought upon by rising short-term rates.  Such an inversion, if it were to happen would be a strong indicator for an upcoming recession.

The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) quarterly growth rate in each EU and US region as of the third quarter of 2019 and the growth rate from one year prior.  All negative growth rates in the EU except for the Western EU's quarterly growth are attributed to currency rate fluctuations.
