Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific ranking claim about Iowa's personal income growth performance that is directly verifiable against economic data.
What we foundIowa's personal income growth ranked 48th (not 49th) in the most recent BEA data, and Sand's own campaign materials cite a three-year average of 48th, not 49th; the 49th figure applies to Iowa's GDP growth ranking, not personal income growth.
