The Fraser Institute’s 2024 Economic Freedom of North America report was released today. According to Dean Stansel, one of the report's authors, "Of the four largest states, Florida is 3rd and Texas is 5th, while New York is again 50th and California is 49th. Across North America, the least-free quartile of jurisdictions (including Canada and Mexico) saw real income decline by 13% over the past 10 years, compared to a 29% increase for the most-free quartile." According to details in the report, Georgia is among the most free areas of North America, as are our neighbors Tennessee, Florida and North Carolina. Although not as free as Georgia, our neighbors Alabama and South Carolina are among the top half of states/countries in North America in terms of economic freedom.
