Metro Boston Leads the Nation in Real GDP Growth

Courtesy of the fine folks at Universal Hub, the Bureau of Economic Analysis just reported that of the largest metropolitan areas in the country, METRO BOSTON had the fastest real GDP growth in the country in 2010!

This map shows how other metro areas compare. The associated article also talks about which industries were growing and affecting metropolitan areas (wholesale, durable-goods manufacturing, retail, financial activity). Interestingly, construction was described as detracting from growth. There’s more detail if you’re interested at www.bea.gov.

As one of Boston’s economic development initiatives, ONEin3 was pretty excited to read about this. It’s been a while since we’ve had a conversation through this website, but does anybody have thoughts about where there’s the greatest potential for continued growth here in Boston? Post your thoughts in the comments.
