    County Economies 2020

    Strong economic growth at the national level does not imply strong growth for every local jurisdiction. Despite a 41 percent increase in national economic output (from 2001 to 2018), 806 county economies have yet to return to pre-recession GDP levels. The National Association of Counties’ (NACo) new County Economies 2020 series analyzes the nation’s economic health from a local level, highlighting the diverse experiences of Americans from various regions.

    In 2018, national economic output was $18.6 trillion, a three percent increase from 2017

    Not every county benefited: In fact, 24 percent saw a decrease in economic output.
