Since the legislature is virtual on Mondays and Fridays, I was virtual today as well. Today, I had the opportunity to sleep in as it was a virtual day and I had to work on the projects that had already been assigned to me. My task for the morning was to finish up my second project which was to research North Carolina’s Taxes in comparison to other states and compare it to North Carolina’s GDP in comparison to other states. During my research, I stumbled upon an important fact that Representative Harris may be able to use. What I realized was that North Carolina’s GDP happens to be growing but its GDP per Capita is stagnant and is growing slower than the national average.
In blue is North Carolina’s Real GDP per Capita over the years and in gray is the US GDP per Capita over the years.
