The Bureau of Economic
Analysis recently released GDP by U.S.
metropolitan area for
2010, and the top 20 largest metro areas are displayed above along with the equivalent countries that have economies that are
approximately the same size as U.S. metro areas. Pretty amazing, and a
testament to the enormity of the U.S. economy and the productivity of American
workers.
