CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- An array of economic indicators suggests that West Virginia is entering 2010 better positioned than nearly all other states to weather the remnants of the Great Recession.
The nonpartisan Federal Funds Information for States ranks West Virginia behind only North Dakota in its latest index of economic momentum.
The index looks at growth in personal income, employment and population to measure each state's fiscal vitality.
West Virginia was among just four states to post positive income growth during the June to September analysis period, and led the nation in that category. But no states reported employment gains during that period, when compared to the same point in 2008.
The Mountain State's population grew slightly, but below the national average.
