The chart above shows the ratio of the region's proportion of unemployed people in the EU to the region's proportion of total people in the EU.  The Southern EU makes up a disproportionate amount of the Union's unemployed.

The chart above shows the ratio of the region's proportion of unemployed people in the US to the region's proportion of total people in the US.  Ratios are relatively even across all US regions.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU region as of December 2018.  The Southern EU really stands out with its extraordinary rate.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each US region as of December 2018.  The South has the lowest unemployment rate.

The chart above shows the ratio of the state's proportion of unemployed people in the US to the state's proportion of total people in the US.  Twenty-two states have an unemployed population that makes up a larger proportion of the US total than their total population does.  For instance, Arizona's unemployed account for 2.70% of the total unemployed people in the US whereas Arizona's population only accounts for 2.07% of the total US population, thus its ratio of unemployed within the US to total people within the US is 1.30.

The chart above shows the ratio of the state's proportion of unemployed people in the EU to the state's proportion of total people in the EU.  Nine states have an unemployed population that makes up a larger proportion of the EU total than their total population does.  For instance, Spain's unemployed account for 20.05% of the total unemployed people in the EU whereas Spain's population only accounts for 9.20% of the total EU population, thus its ratio of unemployed within the EU to total people within the EU is 2.18, or its unemployed population accounts for over twice as much of the EU total than its total population does.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each US state as of December 2018.  Iowa is the only state with a rate below 2.5 percent.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU state as of December 2018 (unless otherwise noted).  The Czech Republic is the only state with a rate below three percent.

The chart above shows the number of passengers that traveled by air for every square mile in each US region.  The Northeast has almost twice as many air passengers per square mile than the next leading region.

The chart above shows the number of passengers that traveled by air for every square kilometer in each EU region.  The Eastern EU almost finally got a break and didn't finish last in one of these metrics but the Northern EU just barely squeaked by it.
