The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) quarterly growth rate in each US state as of the first quarter of 2019 and the growth rate from one year prior.  Four states saw a contraction over the previous quarter while all states grew over the same quarter last year.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU and US region as of July 2019 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  US regions continue to have considerably lower unemployment rates than EU regions with the Eastern EU being the only EU region that tops a US region.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each US region as of July 2019, the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  The Midwestern US was the only region to not see an improvement in its rate from last year.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU region as of July 2019 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  The Western and Southern EU are the only regions with an unemployment rate smaller than the previous month and smaller than last year.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU and US state as of July 2019 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  Czechia is the only EU state with an unemployment rate below three percent.  Eleven US states have a rate below three percent.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each US state as of July 2019, the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  Vermont continues to be the only state that has an unemployment rate below 2.25 percent.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU state as of July 2019 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  Czechia continues to be the only state with an unemployment rate below three percent.

The chart above shows the ten-year interest rate in each EU state as of July 2019, the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  Nine states have a negative interest rate (up from five last month and zero last year).

All rates except for the one-month bill fell in August.  The yield curve narrowed from the previous month thus extending its narrowing streak to two months.  The one-month bill did not maintain the lowest rate at any point in the month but did hold the highest rate on several sessions.  Long-term rates fell at an equal or faster pace than short-term rates, to such a degree that an inversion brought upon by rising short-term rates occurred.  Such an inversion is a strong indicator for an upcoming recession.

The chart above shows the per capita annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each EU and US region as of the first quarter of 2019 in US dollars, the change from the previous quarter, and the per capita GDP one year prior.  US regions have seen growth in per capita GDP over the same quarter last year and over the previous quarter.
