American Austerity: Why the States Cutting Spending Are Doing Worse

[MindMover]

5. There really is no direct link to "which states" and I have not researched that yet....

but here is some information about data sources....

Data sources:

State spending cuts: National Association of State Budget Offices, “State Expenditures Survey,” various years. Includes all expenditures less federal transfers. Adjusted for inflation using U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, “GDP price deflator, National Income and Product Accounts Table 1.1.4.”

Unemployment rates: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Current Population Survey,” multiple years.

Private employment: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Current Establishment Survey,” multiple years.

Real state gross domestic product: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, “Regional Data, GDP & Personal Income Accounts,” multiple years.
