You're comparing one state versus the sum of 50 states. Or that the comparison relates to a decline in new York s stability.

  Without looking up any numbers, Texas is/was one of the fastest growing gdps. Their growth rate is based largely off proximity to jobs gone to Mexico and oil, two recent trends. That means their economy is going to grow, but it doesn't mean it's going to last. Not like new York, where the economy has had steady growth (mostly) for over a century.

This offers a different view of Texas' GDP breakdown.
