"Wales is once again at the bottom of a UK table measuring the strength of the economy.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has published gross value added (GVA) figures for 2014.
They measure how much money is generated through goods produced and services delivered.
The figures show not only that less is produced for every person working in Wales but also the economy has grown less than the UK average.
The regional breakdown shows:
London had the highest GVA per head at £42,666, while Wales had the lowest at £17,573.
The ONS figures show that on average every person in the UK generates £24,616 per head, an increase of 4.6% on 2013 but in Wales the average has risen by only 2.4% on the previous year.
Wales punches well below its weight. With 5% of the UK population it produces only 3.4% of the value of the UK economy.
When the GVA figures are broken down to regions within Wales it shows that in west Wales and the valleys £15,745 was produced per head in 2014.
When we focus on smaller geographical areas the figures show that in the Gwent Valleys only £13,479 is produced per head, while the lowest is for Anglesey at £13,162."
Poor little Wales.
