The smallest state with the longest name (technically, the name is State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations), the Ocean State’s economy was built on textile mills and fishing, as well as toolmaking and silverware. In recent times, the diverse economy has grown to include health services and tourism, with its picturesque beaches and storied history.
Unfortunately, unemployment rates are high in Rhode Island, and taxes are notably high as well. The average resident has $33,420 worth of credit card debt (according to a new survey by Lending Tree). Making it the 28th highest in the country. These credit problems need addressing.
