FREE: Up-to-Date Unemployment Maps on Your Website
Posted under: PolicyMap Messages,Widgets — Tags: BLS, Unemployment Data, Widget by Phil V. @ 10:28 am
The most recent unemployment data for September is now available on PolicyMap and in our first free widget. Just embed the code below to bring interactive unemployment maps to your website.
Your visitors can zoom in, pan around and click on any area of the map to see the underlying state unemployment statistics for any county in the nation. They can also toggle between months and years to see values for previous periods of time going all the way back to 2000. The darker shades on the map are counties with higher rates or numbers of unemployed persons. As the BLS releases new unemployment data each month and we load that data into the PolicyMap platform, your widget will automatically update.
Below is how the widget will look and interact.
To bring this dynamic mapping experience to your site, just embed the HTML code below onto your website.
