In January 2014, it was reported that North Dakota had a state debt of $9.3 billion. The state debt per capita was $13,241. This state debt was determined after reviewing four components: market-valued unfunded public pension liabilities, outstanding government debt, unfunded other post-employment benefit liabilities and outstanding unemployment trust fund loans. Later that year, it was reported that North Dakota had the lowest unemployment rate in the country at just 2.8 percent. The median annual household income for North Dakota residents during that time frame was $55,583. Most residents earned incomes at least 400 percent of the federal poverty level. (Ballotpedia.org)

In 2015, North Dakota was ranked as the 2nd best in the country in “taxpayer surplus,” a term used when describing how much money each taxpayer would receive if the state were to disburse its excess funds. In September 2015, North Dakota had a taxpayer surplus of $28,400. (Ballotpedia.org)
