Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the second quarter of 2018, according to statistics released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The percent change in real GDP in the second quarter ranged from 6.0 percent in Texas to 2.5 percent in Delaware. 

Information services; real estate and rental and leasing; professional, scientific, and technical services; and durable goods manufacturing were the leading contributors to the increase in real GDP nationally (table 2). Texas, the fastest growing state, was led by growth in mining and durable goods manufacturing.
