Federal Reserves - Gov Paul LePage has brought growth to Maine

The coincident indexes combine four state level indicators to summarize the current economic conditions as a single statistic. The four variables are nonfarm payroll employment, average hours worked in manufacturing, unemployment rate and wage and salary disbursements.

Maine was recently in the Red as were most states back in 2009 as can be seen in the Map below.

Since that time Maine has had a turn around. In 2010 Maine said enough of the economic policies of the past that had kept the state down. Governor Paul LePage was elected and the rest has been economic history. Having a businessman in office has helped the state thrive and Maine is one of the few states leading the nation with economic growth. Actions do Speak Louder than Words.
