No state’s job market is as skewed toward financial services as Delaware’s. None is as manufacturing-heavy as Indiana’s.
That’s according to the data underlying a new Bureau of Labor Statistics chart, republished below, that shows the distribution of jobs in each state economy.

Washington’s labor market is the one that skews most toward the information sector, while the leisure and hospitality sector is most overrepresented in … wait for it … Nevada.
