This map shows prime-age employment rates (ages 25–54) across U.S. states. Upper Midwest states like North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota lead the country, while parts of the South and Southwest trail behind.

There is an interactive version of this in my [state data mapper](https://overflowdata.com/state-data/).
So is this showing more which states have higher amounts of adolescents/young adults and near retirees in the workforce?
Or is it the unemployment rate for the ages 25-54?
Or both?
As someone with mild color-blindness but who can’t see most of these, the color scale here is perfect. A different color scheme for high and low, and using brightness/darkness like this.
What is the significance of the 2-color diverging key? What does the center line represent. Could just be a single color.
What is the deal with the upper and central Midwest?
west Virginia is a state with angry white men who are desperate to get their grandfather’s shitty coal mining jobs back. the state has had every opportunity to move on and reinvent itself but clings to an outdated „fossil fuel identity“. Just accept that coal is dead and move on.
Oh look, another map showing Minnesota having an above average quality of life indicator
Oh shit, TIL I’m no longer considered in my prime age for employment, and yet I’m at least a decade from retiring. What does that mean? (And please avoid slang terms from any year beginning with a 2)
There is already a better metric called „labor force participation rate“ that is designed to specifically measure what you’re trying find. This link includes an interactive map, which you’ll notice has similar results.
