Arkansas second-quarter GDP growth trails national pace
Original: Arkansas’ second-quarter GDP up 1.1%, below 2.2% nationwide
New figures show Arkansas' economy grew at an annualised 1.1% in the second quarter, well below the nationwide rate of 2.2%. The data suggests the state is lagging the broader US recovery, a point likely to fuel debate among local business leaders and policymakers about investment, jobs and regional competitiveness in the months ahead.
Why now: Fresh quarterly GDP data showing the state underperforming the national economy is drawing local attention.
