One US State Is Bigger Than Japan. #shorts #economy #california

California’s economy is worth roughly $4.4 trillion. That makes it the fourth largest economy on the planet — ahead of Japan, the United Kingdom and France. Only the United States as a whole, China and Germany are bigger.

And that is one state.

It is about 14% of the American economy. Texas is around 9%. New York is around 8%. Three states account for close to a third of the entire thing.

The full US economy is somewhere near $32 trillion — roughly a quarter of the world’s total output of about $126 trillion.

Produced by about 4.2% of the world’s people.

Which gives you the strange fact this video ends on: if you removed California from the United States entirely, California would be the fourth biggest economy on Earth — and America, without it, would still be first.
