The 2023 Competitiveness Redbook is a data-driven snapshot of Washington’s economic health, comparing the state to the rest of the nation in a variety of key indicators, produced by the Washington Alliance for a Competitive Economy, a nonprofit research institute focused on improving the state’s economy and business climate.
Overall, the 2023 Redbook offers a snapshot of Washington’s relative economic strength as the state emerged from the pandemic, but many economic challenges remain including rising inflation, continuing labor shortages and concerns about a possible recession.
We encourage readers to use this book as a resource to help guide and champion Washington’s economy, and to strengthen all people, industry sectors and communities.
