Thanks to Michael White at the The Patent Librarian's Notebook for noting that the "State Science and Technology Institute (SSTI), a nonprofit organization that supports economic development through science, technology and innovation, has released a new report showing the ranking in number of patents issued per 100,000 workers for U.S. states and the District of Columbia from 2001-2006."

Idaho was first for 2006 with 266.8 patents per 100K workers. Mississippi was last with 13.6.
