Maine had one of the slowest rates of economic growth in the country last year, according to an analysis from the state economist’s office published last week.
Maine’s gross domestic product grew by 0.6% in 2025. That’s the fourth lowest in the country.
Growth was dragged down by declines in several sectors, including accommodation and food services.
At the same time, the analysis found that total personal income grew by about 4.7%, putting the state roughly in the middle of the pack nationally. Maine’s per capita personal income rose to $71,662.
That earnings boost was driven by a few key sectors, including healthcare, state and local government, and wholesale trade.
