Poorest US State Rivals Germany: GDP per Capita in US and Europe

I feel that it's really quite strange how imprecise these numbers are.

Fwiw I'm Norwegian, married to a German and live in Germany. Somehow the prices in Norway have shrunk by 30% for me in recent years. Why? Can't tell. 30%. I don't think it's anything fundamental.

I think there's a limit to how precisely these numbers measure reality, and it's oddly low.

Mississippi, the poorest state in the United States, is close to surpassing Europe's largest economy Germany's GDP per capita.
