The BEA all-industry series puts Alabama and Mississippi on the same basis: annual GDP in current US dollars. The first-year figures are $105.38 billion for Alabama and $58.52 billion for Mississippi. These totals measure production within each state, not residents’ earnings or disposable income. They are not adjusted for inflation, so the percentage changes mix price movements with changes in real output. Differences in population also affect total GDP; this comparison is not a per-person ranking.
