US | Which state labor market recoveries are the strongest?

Midwestern and Southern state labor market recoveries are still outpacing the rest of the country.

A robust summer recovery should support the ongoing recoveries of these regions, as well as the rest of the country.

What you will learn:
- Which states have the most robust recoveries according to our labor market scorecard
- Why coastal states recoveries are still the weakest
- How leisure and hospitality dependent states are in the deepest holes
