In Wyoming, the sector that’s suffering the most doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic—but its decline is certainly affecting businesses of all stripes in the state. The energy industry is buckling from the one-two punch of coronavirus and cratering oil prices. The massive oil, coal, and natural gas sector has propped up Wyoming’s economy and shepherded it through times of crisis in the past, but now, all three segments of the industry are suffering at once.

South Carolina’s sprawling auto industry is at the epicenter of the state’s coronavirus maelstrom. Brands like Volvo, BMW, and Mercedes all have a major presence, and with demand and sales in free-fall, shockwaves are rippling throughout the sector to suppliers, distributors, and administrative support businesses. Automotive suppliers alone had laid off nearly 5,000 people in a month as of early April.

Alabama is emerging as a southern coronavirus hotspot, and few places stand to lose more than the state’s biggest city, Birmingham. Nearly three out of four jobs in Birmingham’s seven-county metro area are based on consumption, which is at a virtual standstill.

Mississippi has experienced a whopping 9,000% increase in unemployment claims since the crisis began. Rural Mississippi is vulnerable to a disproportionately severe and long-lasting impact from this crisis just as it experienced in the 2008 recession. Statewide, Mississippi is expected to lose $6.6 billion this year—that’s about 6% of the state’s entire GDP.

Montana's hotel industry—which supports 38,443 jobs both directly and indirectly—is suffering a debilitating crisis with some hotel bookings dropping by as much as 60% before March had even ended. The already-struggling cattle industry is also taking what might be an unsurvivable hit. Slaughter cattle prices dropped from $1 per pound to 62 cents and live cattle futures dropped more than 20% as early as March 19.

Job losses in North Carolina have been among the worst in the nation from early in the crisis.

Native American tribes and their businesses in Arizona have been impacted greatly by the economic consequences of the shutdown. To make matters worse, they've collectively had a much harder time securing relief from the federal government, as they face more red tape than the larger population in securing stimulus money and emergency loans.

West Virginia is one of the states more vulnerable to economic devastation from the virus shutdown. Not only does the state rely heavily on tourism—which is at a standstill—but it's also dependent on energy, an industry in free-fall. Other factors, like a lack of widespread broadband, insufficient medical infrastructure, and the fact that a disproportionate number of residents have jobs that aren’t compatible with telecommuting are worsening the crisis there.

Rural Iowa was already struggling with the fallout of a trade war that forced a reduction in the price of commodities like corn, soybeans, pork, and beef, with many farmers relying on government aid even before the virus.

Louisiana is a major virus epicenter in the South, and the shutdown has crippled its tourism, gambling, restaurant, and nightlife/entertainment sectors.

Jefferson County is at the heart of the crisis in Kentucky—Louisville, especially. As of April 23, more than 25% of the reported cases and more than 40% of deaths were in Jefferson. It also stands to suffer harder and longer than other regions in the state because officials are not considering opening the county’s non-essential businesses like other less-affected regions of Kentucky.

With nearly half a million Virginians filing for unemployment in a single month, no industry in the state has been spared and officials expect a full rebound to take years.

Despite being one of the poorest states in the country, New Mexico has one of the lowest coronavirus infection rates in the country thanks to early shutdown actions. One of the costs, however, is its tourism industry—now in tatters along with the state’s coal industry, which was already teetering before the crisis and has now been crushed by a dramatic reduction in energy demand.

Like much of rural America, Kansas has not yet felt the full brunt of the economic shutdown’s impact, but the picture is starting to come into focus. The state expects its businesses to lose $1.3 billion in revenue in the coming year, and the state’s massive animal agriculture industry—concentrated in four counties—is among Kansas’ hardest-hit sectors now that widespread virus outbreaks are shutting down meatpacking plants nationwide.

Maryland is having an especially hard time with a steep reduction in foot traffic, largely because of the nature of its economic landscape. Unlike many states anchored by big, well-capitalized corporations, Maryland's economy consists mostly of small- and medium-sized businesses. Companies with 500 or fewer workers employ roughly nine in 10 Marylanders.

Pennsylvania has experienced an economic impact that’s almost unrivaled in the United States, with 1.5 million workers—a full 23% of the workforce—filing unemployment claims as of April 18. Although it’s home to the major urban centers of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania also has vast and open rural areas. Although those less-populated counties have not been hit as hard by the virus itself, they’re especially vulnerable to the economic crisis caused by the steep drop in foot traffic.

Early in the crisis, hotspots in Northern California like San Francisco and Santa Clara were the focus of the state's coronavirus crisis, but Southern California soon caught up. By the end of March, Los Angeles was front and center as ground zero in the Golden State. It's California's remote, poor, and rural counties, however, that are likely to suffer the most from the long-term economic impact of a statewide free-fall in foot traffic to businesses.

America is the epicenter of the global coronavirus crisis, and New York is the epicenter of the country's crisis. While Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s daily briefings have unified and guided the state as a whole, there are few places in America where geographical disparities are stronger. New York City, where there are as many as 70,000 people per square mile, has been hit much harder than Upstate counties, some of which are home to as few as three people per square mile.

No place in America has lost more foot traffic than the nation’s capital, where, as of April 24, 93,000 jobs have been lost, mostly in the hospitality industry. About 40% of the District’s restaurants are closed while those that remain open are bringing in about 20% of their previous revenue. City leaders expect it will take two years for the District’s economy to recover.
