    It looks like they used data from here: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/household-pulse-survey.html

      somebody should really re-do this chart without the bullshit colorscale designed to minimize the problem

        It actually looks like the DC area is relatively stable, which is odd because it has a very high cost of living compared to the rest of the state. I really want to see the info by county though or at least see what Baltimore's says. Cost of living is lower here but employment is less steady.

          I looked this morning and I couldn't reproduce the infographic in the OP. need to mess with it more to see for sure. for one thing, Maryland seems to be more in line with other blue states like NY and IL, as expected.
