Colorado comes out on top in a Business Insider ranking of the nation's top economies.
The national business and technology news website said it evaluated each state on eight measures, including unemployment, the number of non-farm payroll jobs, gross domestic product, average wages, the working age (18-64) population, value of international exports, house prices and auto sales. ( Methodology details here.)
Colorado "was in the top 10 states on five of our metrics, and in the top 15 on the other three," Business Insider said.
