Pick a state to see which industries matter most there — not just nationally — and how today's headlines may be stressing or sparing those sectors.
Major industries — the industry panel lists sectors where your state is specialized (Census employment) and shows industry health when news has recently pushed a sector up or down.
The map — each dot is a US state. Click one to filter news and industries to that place. Colors are quick economic context, not the main story.
The news feed — headlines for your state. When we can infer it, cards list sectors the story may touch and a short “why” line. Browse all articles on the News page.
The ? icons — plain-English tooltips on jargon (LQ, Goldstein, health bars, and more).
