The Unemployment rate is the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed. Individuals are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work.
This map tracks annual average unemployment rates nationally and for individual states from 1999 to 2007. The 2008 figures track the unemployment rate in September 2008. For 2009, the state unemployment rates are for September 2009, whereas the national unemployment rate is for October 2009. These specific data points were chosen to highlight the recession’s deep negative impact on jobs in the United States.
