Greatest economy 10 years from now? (America, bigger, Los Angeles, size)

[mhans123]

Which one would you pick?

I still think the USA will have the biggest economy. China has so many internal problems that it's bound to collapse.

[mhans123]

I agree. I should have specified though I'm mainly concerned about cities.

You mean biggest economy?

Obviously 10 years time isn't much. It will probably be about the same order as now.

[Hawaii4evr]

Oh, I see, oops. I chose NYC.

Probably the Washington DC metro, which arguably sits there right now depending upon the definition of "economy". The NYC Metro still hasn't recovered from the "crash" in terms of regaining jobs with the unemployment rate still sitting above 8%.

As do I. The U.S. GDP is twice the size of China's as well. They want to be America so bad.

For cities, I voted NYC. I don't think any other U.S. city is going to top it.

The NYC metro has a higher number of jobs than before the crash, but also higher unemployment.

But how on earth is the DC economy going to that fast in 10 years? That doesn't make any sense.

DC could be the biggest boomtown in American history, and it wouldn't have a bigger economy than NYC 10 years from now.

NYC.

Los Angeles is a big question mark. It could improve and be the city we've always wanted. It could also just as easily fail to economic chaos.

There is virtually no chance that NYC would have a smaller or less infuential economy than any other city in the US outside of an incredibly cataclysmic event that targets NYC exclusively.
