To be clear: this site defines "recovery" by combining COVID and economic factors - equally weighted.

If we look solely at COVID transmission rate, that's a somewhat different picture: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases_casesper100k...

Good catch. Actually, we were talking only about economic recovery.

NYTimes had a great writeup on the uneven recovery of the employment sector but I can't find it.

Fair. I was mildly triggered when scanning this thread, so thought I'd make the metric clear to anyone else.

Back on topic, if you sort by Leasure/Travel or Economy/Labor, it is pretty clear that red states have the lead.
