Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by State: Second Quarter 2018
Texas Had the Fastest Growth in the Second Quarter

•

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the
second quarter of 2018. The percent change in real GDP in the second quarter ranged from 6.0
percent in Texas to 2.5 percent in Delaware.

•

Information services; real estate and rental and leasing; professional, scientific, and technical
services; and durable goods manufacturing were the leading contributors to the increase in real
GDP nationally. Texas, the fastest growing state, was led by growth in mining and durable goods
manufacturing.

Durable goods manufacturing increased 7.3 percent. This industry was the leading contributor
to growth in Michigan and Missouri—the second and third fastest growing states.
