-States that were affected by COVID or had the most restrictive lockdowns had the largest growth.

I am surprised not see better performance in Tourist heavy states like NV FL HI. Also wheres RI?

[btownboss4]

Is this jobs in the state or jobs held by state residents? Because NJ, CT and NH seems rather low and NY seems high.
