This map vividly shows how hard the recession is hitting state economies, yet I can’t help but notice that orange strip in the Dakota, Nebraska area and I’m unsure what kind of economy these states have? However, I do know that if it’s related to agriculture they will likely get a shade darker if this drought continues.
