The health of the labor market is commonly described in terms of the official unemployment rate, but another key detail, the percentage of jobs lost, underscores how a severe shortage of jobs lies at the root of the current jobs crisis. The *Map* shows the percentage of jobs each state has lost since the start of the recession in December 2007.
