The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU and US state as of January 2021 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  No states have a rate below three percent.

The chart above shows the urban area of each city with a population of over one million with an area over 250 square miles while the chart below shows all urban areas with a population of over one million with an area under 250 square miles.  The urban area has been normalized so as to avoid any inconsistencies with how cities and their metropolitan areas are defined by their governments.  Each urban area has similar characteristics making this the definitive method with which to compare cities across various countries.  Most large US cities have an urban area of over 250 square miles and populate the above chart while most EU cities have an urban area of under 250 square miles and thus populate the chart below.
