The fastest growing economies in the U.S. last year were largely found deep in the heart of Texas.
Half of the 16 U.S. metro areas where the economy grew at a 6% rate or better last year were in Texas, led by the energy-rich Midland region’s 24.1% advance in gross domestic product, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.
In Texas, Midland was followed by 11.4% growth in San Angelo and an 8.5% increase in Dallas. The fastest growing non-Texas areas were Lake Charles, La., up 10.3%, and Greely, Colo., up 9.9%.
