TaxProf Blog: 50-State Fiscal Condition Ranking

TaxProf Blog: 50-State Fiscal Condition Ranking:
"A closer analysis of the individual metrics behind the ranking shows how each state’s fiscal condi­tion should be assessed.
Notably, nearly all states have unfunded pension liabilities that are large relative to state personal income, indicating that all states need to take a closer look at their unfunded pensions, which represent a significant portion of each state’s economy.
Another finan­cial crisis could mean serious trouble for many states that are otherwise fiscally stable."
