Select the industry sector you want to view from the list under the map (default map is Manufacturing), and scroll over any state to look at how that job market sector performed in 2017.
For manufacturing, Nevada saw an impressive 12.9% increase in employment year over year, leading all states, while Alaska trailed all states with a -6% change in manufacturing employment.
