Is Your State's Unemployment System in Danger?

Aug. 31: This post has been updated. New data is in red.

As part of our investigation into unemployment insurance , here's a look at how individual state systems compare. Thanks to a historical compromise, each state has its own unemployment insurance system, and they come in 51 different flavors -- one for each state and Washington, D.C. (Puerto Rice and the Virgin Islands technically make it 53.)

How does your state's unemployment insurance system stack up? Is it about to go bankrupt? Is it bankrupt already? States with negative balances are in red. Pink states may have to borrow soon. Read about the states' policies that fed the current crisis.

Are your benefits below average? Roll over a state to see information on its benefits.
