Note: Each UI outcome has a separate color, and for each UI outcome, each state (50 states and the District of Columbia) has one point. UI outcomes are based on the period March 13–December 21, 2020. Percentage who applied for UI benefits, percentage who received UI benefits, and success rate of UI applicants are for people 18 years and older. COVID-19 death rate is cumulative deaths (through December 21, 2020) per 100,000 population, on the basis of reports from state and local health agencies, and U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for July 1, 2019. COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019. UI = unemployment insurance.
