Flickr / Tom The US has an enormous economy, and that economy is the sum of the economies of 50 states and the District of Columbia.

We ranked the economies of all the states and DC on seven measures: unemployment rates; GDP per capita; average weekly wages; recent growth rates for nonfarm payroll jobs; GDP; house prices; and wages. For more on our methodology, click here.

In addition to looking at some of the economic metrics that went into the ranking, we identified a symbol for each state and DC, according to Wikipedia.
