Poverty levels also correlate w/ lower creativity: Note how poverty map ~same as arts map at bit.ly/2cLVfdE
Creativity divide: Turns out that folks w/ college degrees participate in art-related activities a lot more than those w/ less education.
Who knew?! There's a North-South divide when it comes to creative Americans. wapo.st/2bQZqVc
The good news: Wages are RISING across jobs spectrum. Wall St. unhappy, but no one else is.cnnmon.ie/2aeAVy8

Worker productivity has been anemic at best since Great Recession, worse than any period since the early 80s.
Worker productivity in VA remains high (14th best in US), tho it's been slowly dropping from recent peak in 2010.
For 10+ years, VA has led US w/ highest percentage of people in science and engineering jobs.bit.ly/2c7zL8X
24 VA localities have unemployment rates below 7%, while 2 suffer unemployment above 9%. bit.ly/17mj7wv
Looking at just Virginia: Out of 133 localities, 107 counties & cities have unemployment rates below 5%. bit.ly/17mj7wv
That's a 4% unemployment rate, lower even than nat'l rate of 4.9%. (See nat'l chart here: bit.ly/L8BKrM)
In honor of Labor Day: Did you know VA has 4,268,101 people in its labor force? And 4,096,439 of them are EMPLOYED. bit.ly/2bW77UW
