The creative folks over at howmuch.net recently took data from a Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) report and turned it into an insighful 3D visualization of GDP growth by metropolitan area. The higher the cone rising out of the map, the greater the GDP growth in that area.
“The BEA numbers showed that GDP grew in 282 of the 381 metropolitan areas. This growth was fueled by a number of industry groups led by professional and business services, wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance and real estate.”
