State Recession Map

Each state is scored independently: a state is flagged only when its own labor market shows Sahm-style deterioration AND its own coincident activity index is declining. This keeps a regional shock (e.g. an oil-producing state during a price collapse) from being mistaken for a national recession. Click or tap a state for detail.

State-level data is reported quarterly and typically lags national data by several weeks, so the most recent complete quarter shown here may be behind today's date.
