For each quarter of the year, BEA produces a wealth of state economic statistics. They are now featured in the same news release with industry statistics and the third estimate of U.S. gross domestic product each quarter.
Starting with the fourth quarter of 2025, BEA accelerated its production of state GDP and personal income statistics to present this comprehensive picture of the economy on the same day.
To dig deeper into our state statistics, visit BEA’s Interactive Data tables. You’ll find GDP and personal income data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, including detail on industries and sources of income.
For example, take a closer look at personal income by state for the first quarter of 2026:
Current-dollar personal income increased $222.6 billion, or 3.4 percent at an annual rate, nationally in the first quarter. Personal income increased in 49 states and the District of Columbia, with the percent change at an annual rate ranging from 22.4 percent in North Dakota to –23.9 percent in Hawaii.
Earnings increased in 46 states. The percent change ranged from 34.7 percent in North Dakota to –1.5 percent in the District of Columbia.
- In North Dakota, farm earnings increased $2.5 billion. This was the leading contributor to the state’s increase in overall earnings, due in part to government payments from the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program.
- In the District of Columbia, federal civilian earnings decreased $1.1 billion, the leading contributor to the decrease in overall earnings following the restructuring of the federal civilian workforce in 2025.
Personal current transfer receipts increased in 45 states and the District of Columbia. The percent change in transfer receipts ranged from 15.5 percent in Minnesota to –75.7 percent in Hawaii.
- In Minnesota, Medicaid benefits increased $2.1 billion, the leading contributor to the state’s increase in personal current transfer receipts.
- In Hawaii, “other personal current transfer receipts” decreased $8.8 billion. This category was the leading contributor to Hawaii’s decrease in personal current transfer receipts. The decrease reflected a settlement paid to households in the fourth quarter of 2025, related to the 2023 Maui wildfire.
Property income (dividends, interest, and rent) increased in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The percent change ranged from 5.5 percent in Idaho to 3.2 percent in Alaska.
