Baden-Württemberg: Statistician: Southwest in fourth place for economic power

Stuttgart (dpa/lsw) - According to statisticians, the economic power of the south-west is above the national average, but only ranks 4th in a comparison of the states. In terms of gross domestic product per capita, the city states of Hamburg and Bremen and neighboring Bavaria fared better last year. This was reported by the State Statistical Office on Tuesday.

According to the Stuttgart Economics Ministry, Baden-Württemberg is the largest industrial location in Germany and one of the most important in Europe. According to this, more than 1.5 million people work in the industry.

The service sector accounts for the largest share of economic output in Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen, as the state office announced. The manufacturing industry, on the other hand, achieves the largest share in Baden-Württemberg in a comparison of the federal states.
