Mississippi, the poorest state in the United States, is close to surpassing Europe's largest economy Germany's GDP per capita. Euronews Business compares US states with European countries.

The poorest US state's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is higher than that of Europe's top five economies, except for Germany. However, Mississippi competes closely with Germany, with a difference of just €1,500.

Just to give the exact numbers, unemployment in Germany normally covers 60 % of your average salary over the last year. Or 67 % if you have a child.

And yeah, I would not like to live in USA.
