#4: Ohio
Population: 11,536,504
Growth rate: 1.6%
Unemployment rate: 9.8%
The first break in Ohio's decades long double-digit population growth came during the Great Depression, when many factories laid-off workers and the number of Ohio residents grew only 3.9%. This decade saw even more modest growth as the state coped with the near collapse of the auto industry.
