Northeastern states earned top grades in the annual 50-state eco nomic report card compiled by the Corporation for Enterprise Devel opment, a research and consulting organization whose study was Fi nanced by corporations, labor unions and private foundations. The states that did best were those that were willing to invest in basics such as education, technology and capital markets — “not very flashy, but very effective in the end,” the group found. States in the South and Midwest have followed the lead of the North east by making more investments to ensure future growth, it said. “Overall, states are developing a much better sense of what needs to be done to advance economic devel opment,” Robert E. Friedman, presi dent of the organization, said. “The lessons from states that have actively promoted a stronger economy are clearly being transferred to other states across the nation.” Despite the economic strides taken in many states, a growing dis parity between rich people and poor people was evident throughout the country, with the income gap wid ening in all states except North Da kota, Hawaii and Alaska, the study found. Increases in an index measuring a shift of income from the less well-off toward the well-to-do ranged from 1 percent in states with generally strong economies to much higher percentages in states that are strug gling. The biggest increases in in come inequality were in Iowa at 21 percent, West Virignia 19.8 percent, and New Mexico 15.4 percent. “What this means is that even Great Plains and the Mount West” that were crippled bythecol lapse of commodity prices at 4 start of the decade and never recoi ered. The study evaluated the ecot omies of all 50 states on more tfe 125 variables and graded the state from A to F in four subject ares economic performance, business)) tality, resource capacity and devd opment policy. Of the 13 states that got no Asp B’s in any of the four category seven were from the Plains ait Western regions, including Sowt Dakota, North Dakota, Nebrash Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and No Mexico. “These states appear simply toll waiting for the next upturn inea “What this means is that even states experiencing strong economic growth cannot be confident that the benefits of growth are equitably distributed.” — economic research study states experiencing strong economic growth cannot be confident that the benefits of growth are equitably dis tributed,” the study said. “The les son here is simply that states must al ways be vigilant, because the best of times for some may be the worst of times for others.” The study found that, overall, “acute economic distress” has be come chronic in some states west of the Mississippi. The weakest states are “thinly populated mineral-extraction and agriculture-dependent states of the ergy, mineral, timber and agricultt- ral commodity markets,” the repor said. Twelve of the 13 states thatscord no A’s or B’s were described as rural The other low scorer was Missoni which also has significant agricultu ral and rural areas. The study said it was not ik states’ “rurajness” that caused thett to perform poorly, but rather “ho» limited their mix of industries is and, in most cases, how little thevati doing to upgrade their economicct mates.” The 13th state with no A s or 8 was West Virginia. The report cautioned that wl many states are improving theireep nomic performance, they mustwoii to excel in international market rather than merely luring businesses across state borders. An analysis of how the United States fared against its competitor! found that “while the U.S. fateswel in measures of capacity and income it falls behind in meeting globalsiatt dards of business competitiveness,' the study said.
