An interactive visualization of the civilian labor force, employment, and unemployment, for each state.
In the example from the visualization shown below, which shows indexed employment growth, you can see that Kansas (the highlighted line) is not faring well. There aren’t many states whose lines are below that of Kansas.
This data is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a division of the United States Department of Labor. It is current through January 2018.
