Exposure is about the mix of jobs in a place compared with the U.S., not about layoffs. Stress is today's conditions on a 0 to 100 scale. Where a cell has no local data it reads "Insufficient local data" — never a national stand-in.

How to read this page

Read the full methodology

Community exposure describes the mix of work in a place, using national usage data applied to local employment. It does not mean local jobs are being lost, and it is not a forecast. Current stress reports today's labor-market conditions only. Where local data is thin, we say so and show a wider area.
