No. 7 Indiana, No. 8 Montana, No. 9 Wisconsin, No. 10 Utah. From that list, only Indiana and Wisconsin typically make it into the upper half of absolute GDP rankings quarterly.

Overall, U.S. real GDP by state growth slowed to an annual rate of 1.9 percent in the third quarter of 2015 after increasing by 3.8 percent in the second quarter.
