Ouch, well you didn't highlight Florida, New York, or New Jersey so thats not really good or bad lol, but you highlighted California as being the slowest for Pacific? Can I ask why?
It looks similar to my guess. Though I would swap New Mexico with Arizona and Georgia with South Carolina. The first pair based on housing issues among other things and the latter due to growth starting to shift there combined with a smaller starting base. I also think swapping Mississippi with Louisiana due to natural and manmade disasters and their potential long-term effect.
Some of this also could have within a region other states not far from either end as well. Growth could be either absolute or per-capita basis since some states could have either population or per-capital growth faster. Also demographic trends will play into this depending on where people move to and the impending retirement of millions causing future issues.

Florida needs to diversify its economy and not be so reliant upon tourism and construction. New York and New Jersey are expensive, and Pennsylvania will benefit as a result. California's government is a mess, and that will likely stymie growth there for the foreseeable future. Washington seems the most stable of the Pacific states.

Are South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, etc in the midwest?? I always had the impression they were western. When I think of Midwest, I think of Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, etc.. but I just moved to the midwest so I'm not sure.
But OP, what are you basing this off of? A recent article had Ohio in the top 3 for increase in jobs in 2010.. with 35,000 jobs added. So I'm going to have to disagree with your opinion. Heck, 28 fortune 500 companies would put it ahead of most of the Midwest states you have listed.
Oh and I believe it was Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York who are leading the nation in job increases, followed by Texas. Seems like the most populated states are continuing to be the leaders.

I'm talking about the next 10 years overall. One month doesn't necessarily illustrate a pattern.
