Massachusetts has the strongest economy of any U.S. state, according to a June 1 ranking from personal finance website WalletHub.

WalletHub developed the list by comparing all 50 states and Washington, D.C., across metrics focused on economic activity, economic health and innovation potential. All 28 metrics, including year-over-year change in GDP, unemployment rate and share of jobs in STEM fields, were graded on a 100-point scale. A weighted average score was then used to determine the rankings.
