The unemployment rate rose in five states. The highest increase of 1.2% happened in Minnesota, the center of recent protests.
Based on the COVID-19 tracking map of John Hopkins University, the unemployment rate is closely related to the severity of the disease. States with a smaller population and fewer cases of coronavirus have lower unemployment rates.
