	Since 2003, the GDP per capita of Tabasco has consistently figured among the 4 largest in the country. However, this level of economic activity has not translated into an equally favorable performance in other social welfare metrics. According to CONEVAL, the Tabasco poverty rate in 2016 was 50.9\%, seven percentage points higher than the national rate (43.6\%). On the other hand, the average monthly income of the workers of the state is in the 40th percentile of all the states.



	This discrepancy can be explained because the mining activity, despite accumulating only 3\% of jobs, represents more than 50\% of the state{\textquoteright}s GDP. If we only consider non-oil GDP, we have that the GDP per capita of the state has tended to be located around the country{\textquoteright}s median, and for 2016 it was in the 30th percentile nationwide.
