From Wikipedia:
The economy of West Virginia is one of the most fragile of any U.S. state. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, West Virginia is the third lowest in per capita income,[22] ahead of only Arkansas and Mississippi. It also ranks last in median household income.[23] The proportion of West Virginia's adult population with a bachelor's degree is the lowest in the U.S. at 15.3%.[24]
West Virginia's GDP was $55.6B in 2006, which was a 0.6% increase from 2005. This makes growth rate for the state the 2nd lowest in the nation, behind only Michigan.
Even the ObamaFest intern, who hails from West Virginia, puts little faith in the electorate. She points out the inherent dichotomy of West Virginia, "Despite their professed Christian faith, West Virginians could not find in their midst three wise men or a single virgin."
