New England, when looked at as a bloc, had a Gross Domestic Product of 744.8 BILLION dollars in 2007. This is before federal spending, and also before the economic downturn of 2008, meaning in today's dollars, this figure would be higher. This number would also put NE right next to the Netherlands on the GDP scale. We would outweigh over 91% of all other countries in the world in terms of economy.
