WalletHub pointed out in its evaluation that, even if the U.S. economy as a whole thrives — as predicted by the International Labour Organization — individual states could have a better, or worse, time of it, depending on the condition of their own economies.

Here's a look at the 10 states it says have the best economies in 2016:

At ninth place for economic health, Oregon also finished 10th for economic activity and 13th for innovation potential.

It also had the fourth highest nonfarm payrolls change and the fourth highest state-government surplus per capita.

9. Texas

The Lone Star State was third in the country for economic activity, but came in at 20th place for innovation potential. It finished in the bottom half of the states, at 34th, for economic health.

Still, it has the second-highest GDP in the country and is tied for first place with Washington and Louisiana for the most exports per capita.

8. New York

For economic activity, New York placed sixth in the country. Innovation potential came in at 11th place, while economic health was only 27th.

However, it tied with California and Massachusetts for first place for the most venture capital funding per capita.

7. District of Columbia

Surprise, surprise — D.C. finished first in the nation for economic health. Innovation potential came in at 10th place, while economic activity placed 17th.

The bad thing is that it placed 48th — not a good thing — for having the fourth highest unemployment rate in the country. Conversely, it had the fifth-highest median annual household income, the fourth most venture capital funding per capita and the highest immigration of U.S. knowledge workers.

Delaware took fifth place in the country for economic activity. Innovation potential ranked 14th and economic health came in at 18th place.

5. Colorado

Colorado took fifth place for innovation potential, seventh place for economic health and ninth place for economic activity.

Although it had the 48th lowest exports per capita, it had the fifth-highest GDP growth in the country, the fourth highest business startup activity, tied for first place with the lowest unemployment rate, and had the fifth highest nonfarm payrolls change.

4. Massachusetts

First in innovation potential, the Bay State was eighth in economic activity but just 15th in economic health.

It actually finished 50th for having the lowest state-government surplus per capita, but took top spot for the highest percentage of jobs in high-tech industries, fourth for most independent-inventor patents per 1,000 working-age residents and tied for first with California and New York for most venture capital funding per capita.

3. California

The Golden State actually has the seventh largest economy in the world, with a gross domestic product of $2.3 trillion — comparable to Brazil's $2.2 trillion — in 2014. It finished second in innovation potential, fourth in economic activity but just 12th in economic health.

The state also tied for fifth place with North Dakota for the highest business startup activity; took fifth place for the highest percentage of jobs in high-tech industries; tied Utah for first place in the most independent-inventor patents per 1,000 working-age residents; and was tied for first place with Massachusetts and New York for most venture capital funding per capita.

2. Washington

The state of Washington took first place in the economic activity category, while finishing third in innovation potential and tenth in economic health.

It also tied Louisiana and Texas for first place in the most exports per capita and placed fourth in the nation for the highest percentage of jobs in the high-tech industry.

1. Utah

Utah came in on top, with second-place rankings in economic activity and economic health, a third-place ranking for highest business startup activity and a fourth-place ranking for innovation potential.

It also had the highest change in nonfarms payroll, the fourth highest immigration of U.S. knowledge workers, a first-place tie with California for the most independent-inventor patents per 1,000 working-age residents and a fifth-place finish for the most venture capital funding per capita.
