Why we checked itA specific economic growth rate figure for Pennsylvania that can be verified against official economic data, and the claim that Pennsylvania has 'the only growing economy in the northeast' is a strong comparative assertion.
What we foundPennsylvania's GDP growth rate did not reach 5.4% in the most recent year by any standard measure; real GDP grew only 1.7% in 2023 and 2024, and nominal GDP grew roughly 4.3% in 2024 and 5.8% in 2023 — none of which equals 5.4%.
