Every state faces its own set of challenges in the economic hard times. Project Compass has collected unemployment data and compiled a "snapshot" of each state.
The 51 profiles are listed in alphabetical order.
Each profile contains:
- Line charts of workforce trends: Jan 2008 to Sep 2009
- Map of the state with counties color-coded by unemployment rates
- Spreadsheet of unemployment rates by county: Sep 2008 to Sep 2009
- State responses to the Library Responses to Economic Tough Times survey (with permission from respondents)
