State's GDP grew faster than the nation's in 2010

Maryland's gross domestic product — a key measurement of economic strength — grew faster than the national average last year after dipping in recessionary 2009, the federal government said Tuesday.

Maryland's GDP increased 2.9 percent in 2010, ranking it sixteenth among the states, according to estimates from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis that could be revised later. Nationwide, GDP grew 2.6 percent last year.

The state's GDP shrank a little less than 1 percent in 2009.
