Where each SEC state's economy would rank among the economies of the world
Posted on 4/22/25 at 1:36 pm
Posted on 4/22/25 at 1:36 pm
The state totals are based on most recent GDP data available (2023) for states and the World data for countries is based on latest forecasted GDP data for 2025. It's not completely an apples to apples comparison but it's close.
I always find it interesting and a little amazing to see how the economy of each individual U.S. state compares to other countries around the world. It really puts in perspective how dominant size wise the U.S. economy is relative to the overwhelming majority of economies around the world.
Here are the world's 75 largest economies based on the most recently available GDP data for each country and SEC state. Each SEC state and its GDP total along with where each state would rank among the world economies if each state stood on its own are listed in bold....(totals are listed in billions of dollars)

2) China - 19,231.71 B

Damn, all those times I said Mississippi was the Uzbekistan of the SEC, I was wrong. It's the Kuwait of the SEC instead

Damn Louisiana got a big dick compared to little old Alabama. Underachieving.

Interesting to note that one of the countries that many "democratic socialists" often point to as the crown jewel and model economy the U.S. should pattern its economy after...Sweden...has a GDP exactly the same size as the economies of Alabama and Louisiana combined. Yet Sweden (with a GDP of 620 B) is generally considered to be a relatively wealthy country while Alabama and Louisiana (despite having roughly 800k fewer residents combined than Sweden) are both widely considered to be "poor" states

Makes you wonder where they'd stack up without all the O&G. I'm surprised their GDP's are so close.

Mississippi isn't nearly as nice as Uzbekistan. Tashkent actually looks pretty nice.

I’m a little surprised this isn't higher. Thought they had more oil money than that.

When you consider the fact that Louisiana is easily the largest exporter of oil and gas per capita in the entire country it's actually surprising that the state's GDP isn't closer to $400 B rather than $300 B.
If Alabama had the same oil and gas resources and refining capacity that Louisiana has Alabama's GDP would be closer to $400 B.

The GDP of the SEC States all together are almost exactly the same as the combination of France and the UK.
Kinda makes you think....

For all the talk about how Alabama is lapping Louisiana (which they are), we still beat them in overall GDP and GDP per capita

When you consider what you asked me to consider, it makes Louisiana the most corrupt state in the history of our country.
So much corruption you wonder where all the money goes and why the state looks like white dog shite on a muggy Monday morning.

But our people steal from our people.
In normal society that is a death sentence. Louisiana politicans and big families steal, its flat out that simple.

Per capita for each state?
Edit: Alabama’s GDP is $59,131 per resident. No clue if that’s good or not.

Even crazier is that just the 5 states alone that make up what was traditionally referred to as the "Deep South" (Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina) together make up the 12th largest economy in the world.
When you add in the other 3 original SEC states (Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee) to those 5 "Deep South" states you have what makes up the 4th largest economy in the world.
Texas, Florida, and Georgia combined make up the 3rd largest economy in the world

You just now figuring out that even our poorest are richer than most of the world?
