'Ridiculously large'

Floridians who show up for work every day get a lot done — at least in comparison to Indonesia.

How much more? According to a unique study from the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative Washington, D.C.-based think tank, Florida had a similar GDP in 2015, $883 billion, as Indonesia, with a GDP of $859 billion. But the Sunshine State, AEI reports, reached its GDP on a workforce of 9.3 million people. That's about 8% of the size of Indonesia's workforce of 115 million people.

Florida's GDP is the fourth largest nationwide, behind California, Texas and New York, states the AEI report, which compares every state's GDP to the foreign country that has the closest economic output. In addition to Indonesia, Florida's GDP also outdoes the Netherlands, Turkey, Switzerland and oil-rich Saudi Arabia, among many other nations. The Sunshine's State's GDP is more than the combined GDP of Austria and Belgium.
